The isolation measures are doing a lot more than this. Given that you are promoting every one doing this, I would wager that people who are busy or do not understand this guidance would believe they are protecting themselves by wearing a mask.

This false sense of security erodes basic isolation and sanitary measures which are more protective.

I understand people want to feel safe, its better for them to be safe.

People should avoid public spaces where possible, yes. But we still need to get groceries, maybe go to the doctor, a lot of people still have to go to work, etc.

There are also people who feel safe and continue to go out without a mask.
