no but the advice is poor. Surgical masks are meant to give some protection to patients from medical staff's germs, not to protect wearers from other people. If I'm told that a place is so fucking germy that I need protection, I don't want a god damn mask. I want a hazmat suit.

But even if a mask offers 5-10% protection, isn't that better than nothing?

Wearing a mask to stop a virus is like using a picket fence to stop mosquitos
