Save your money unless you know how to use them and have been appropriately fitted

I don't think it's professionally responsible to say that. Don't discourage people from procuring them. Any old N95 mask, thrown on in a hurry, is approximately better than no mask, unless in an absolutely saturated viral environment (unlikely).

Plain surgical masks are fine for droplet spread.
