Actually, we wear masks in the O.R. to contain "fomites", i.e. spit blobs, hairs, whiskers, boogers, skin flakes, you get the idea. If they fall into the wound, things can go south. No surgeon like post-op infections. As for mask filtering virus particles, not so much. They might offer some protection, but you don't see the researchers in Level 4 hot rooms running around in masks only. Masks WILL protect your respiratory tract from fomites to a large degree and most bacteria (N95 - N99) IF fitted and worn properly.
An interesting study was reported in which med students were asked to wear mask for an extended period of time. The mask wearing kids touched their faces a great deal more often than the non-masked kids. So there's that as well.
As for taking advice from a surgeon, you just did.

Is that a camera in the muzzle? Or is it next to it?

Agree.
If masks were so effective, why did they release prisoners from jail instead of giving them mask???
Just asking for a friend...
Without bullets, you have no ammunition. Don’t be so tiring.
Besides, if you called it the 5 A’s of life: andouille sausage, ale, aureolas, ammunition and asses just doesn’t have the same ring to it, now does it? Plus, you miss bacon and that just ain’t American.

One of my programs I managed for 25 years in a fortune 50 company was respiratory protection. Three key elements.. Filtration efficiency, particle size and PROPERLY FITTED!! Without a proper fit test you might as well not wear it. What I see out there now makes my skin crawl..and they all feel safe..
