I use a P1 which is not far behind a P2 for cutting, dust & painting jobs around the house.
I wouldn't dream of using a surgical mask.
The size of the Wuhu flu is 0.06 to 1.4 microns. What size do you think your mask filters?
Better than the surgical mask with gaps around most of the edge.
P1 80%
P2 94%
P3 99.95%
Although your wife might have something to say about it!

It's particulate filtering is suitable only for the workshop-y stuff it's designed (and marketed) to filter.
The valve means your outbound breaths are not filtered. They are considered poor form (for this usage), for excellent reason.
Please do not dream of using that mask for anything other than that which it was specifically designed for
