That's not a surgical mask. That's an N95 mask. Go back through the thread (^f) and count the number of times N95 masks were specifically mentioned (many). Then go back and count the number of time surgical masks were mentioned (zero).

My links (and excerpts) covered the N95 you illiterate boob.
That’s three times you’ve posted that graphic to me. Total troll move.
Contrast with surgical mask
Surgical masks are primarily intended to protect the wearer from direct splashes and sprays of blood and bodily fluid as well as the release of aerosols from the wearer that may adversely impact a patient or other individual. N95 filtering facepiece respirators cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for use as surgical masks, in addition to providing respiratory protection to the wearer, are known as Surgical N95.[8] Typical surgical masks do not provide the same level of filtration as a NIOSH approved respirator as they are neither tight-fitting or capable of providing sufficient filtration over a wide range of particle sizes.[9] The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the use of surgical masks as part of standard precautions when conducting procedures that result in aerosol generation and the patient is not anticipated to be infected with a disease known to be transmitted by small aerosols.[10] The CDC recommends the use of NIOSH certified respirators equivalent to N-95 or greater to prevent the inhalation of infectious particles (e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Avian influenza, Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), pandemic influenza, and Ebola.)[11]
So can you shut up now that you've been proven wrong a dozen times? Stop spreading misinformation, you're gonna get someone hurt.
I was right. You are illiterate.
Before you can put any mask on you need to fix your primary condition.
