Is this an n95 style particulate filtered mask/respirator, or is it just a surgical mask?
One seals to your face and filters at least 95% of particulates in the air, while the other might stop only a couple percent, but does slow viral spread down if you get it because it will catch some of the wearers germs that might otherwise go into the public. Also, any mask might help keep you from touching your face, one of the biggest reasons for the viral spread.
