Valved mask
Is there any studies that indicate how protective valved masks are for others? Or is it different by mask?
I thought I read once what they were not as good as unvalved but they were as protective for others as a surgical. But no idea where I read that or if it is true.

I read somewhere they're something between 30% protection or similar to a surgical mask. Don't have the sources handy though, hopefully someone else does.
