The only reason the CDC etc... aren’t strongly recommending, or saying you have to wear a mask, is because there aren’t nearly enough of them around even for medical workers. The reason the medical workers want them is because they work. If everyone wore masks, basically like in South Korea and Japan, it would significantly slow the spread of the disease - all else being equal.
