> Surgical masks are designed to prevent you spreading viruses

That maybe true but that doesn't change the fact they help you from catching it as well.

It simply doesn't make any sense going one way is 100% and the other is 0%

And what we want is to chip away at the R0 in as many ways as possible.

And that's skipping the fact people thinking they are protecting themselves are also protecting others.
