This might help you somewhat. I just started another feed with the link.

Masks with valves should not be used anywhere. Valved masks allow the exhaled air, along with the virus into the air as if the person was not wearing a mask at all. Masks with valves are useless for slowing the spread of the virus.

To get the best filtering, the mask must be made of NON-woven material. Woven fabrics are like fish nets.

Shopping is not going to get you infected unless you stop and chat with someone for an extended period of time that is infected. Walking past someone that is infected is not going to get you infected. That's why being outside is not considered really dangerous unless you are standing close and chatting for an extended time.

It's disturbing to see news feeds showing people with no mask and even people purposely spitting and coughing on common touch areas in public. Covid parties, prisoners and gangs have also been in the news spreading the virus on purpose.
A person who has done a lot of research on this subject here in the villages name Goodlife said by October 1st he believes the virus will disappear. I hope he's right.
If you truly believe this, you should make all kinds of bets with many people, and, on October 31, begin collecting your dough. A nice new RV would be great, wouldn't it. Or maybe a Tesla 3!

I also hope he's right!! It would've been helpful for the "experts" to not only recommend a mask but to also have a website to order PROPER masks! They said from the beginning NOT to purchase N95's, to leave them for the health workers.
