Personally, I have no problem with people wearing masks, scarves, bandanas, or whatever when they're in relatively crowded areas like stores. It seems uncontroversial to say that it doesn't hurt (and may help)--leaving aside some of the supply issues for actual medical masks. But, yes, people should assume that the benefit is probably marginal and not treat masks as a superpower.

Which doesn't really say anything about the effect on transmission of the virus/effect on infection rates especially between people are not in especially close quarters.
To be clear, I'm certainly not against people wearing face coverings but I'm skeptical it does much good.
