Yeah, we should. It is pointed out in the article, and the major argument against wearing one, that the value to the wearer is likely small, wearing a mask decreases risk to others. That is sufficient reason. It is important to wear a mask properly and handle it safely, and that we not think it is a substitute for all the other mitigation strategies. But it helps to decrease risk of spread, so yes.
