That's not really relevant to the point/counterpoint I was replying to, which was to do with personal risk. But I'm not sure it's true anyway; you can't transmit the virus to others if you're not infected! If everyone wore only N95s, transmission would certainly be lower than if everyone wore only surgical masks.

However, if it bothers you that much, you can wear a surgical mask over the N95. That's the best of both worlds, and strictly better than either option alone.

(All of this assumes valved N95s. Unvalved ones are more effective in both directions than surgical masks)
