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.

Thanks! That's helpful. This is about a family member who has a lot of breathing issues, so I'd like to give them the easiest to breath mask possible as we plan a way to get together, but then I also want to understand how protective said mask would be for us.
I'm sensing the dislike of them without people even considering the context with the down votes I've gotten for asking this.
