To prevent hoarding, the surgeon general and the media have spread misinformation that masks won't protect you against the coronavirus. Studies show that surgical masks and N95 masks reduce the risk of infection with respiratory viruses! Please consider wearing masks in public.

CDC website on how the virus spreads. “Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.” Seems like a mask might help.

I had to revise my stand on this as well - a 55% reduction in infection risk for surgical masks worn by untrained personnel is nothing to sneeze at.
