D4,
Don't give yourself a false sense of security. Surgical masks aren't designed to block virus particles and only protect someone from exposure to a certain degree. I suspect medical people wear surgical masks because they have ready access them. Homemade or store-bought cloth masks can be just as effective, depending on the material and design. Heck, even a couple of folded paper towels over your nose and mouth can reduce possible exposure.
