"There seems to be evidence that masks can make your exposure worse by trapping some amount of air containing the virus under the mask, making you more exposed"
Where is that evidence?
"in medical facilities N95 masks are fitted specifically to individuals. You can't just throw one on and be protected. Most people won't go through the trouble of doing that properly."
Most people haven't been washing their hands properly either, and yet the government has gone to great lengths to educate people on how to properly wash their hands. There's no reason they couldn't do the same with mask fitting.
