Wear a face mask in public to slow COVID-19, says CDC — 'I don’t think I’m going to be doing it,' says Trump

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.
