Unless you are health care professional, a hockey goalie, or Batman, or caring for someone who has an infection like a new coronavirus infection, you probably do not need to buy a mask just because of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.
Again, unless you yourself are infected with the new coronavirus or are taking care of someone who is infected or in a particularly high risk situation, wearing a N95 mask is likely not necessary. The CDC did not say “wear such a mask if you interact with any strangers or are a celebrity.”
Plus, the masks can give you a false sense of security. When health care professionals wear the masks, they typically know who may be carrying a virus or similar pathogen. This allows them to focus on where the risk may be and the tasks at hand. They usually are taking other precautions as well, such as washing their hands, wearing gloves, disinfecting surfaces, and paying attention to what they touch.
If you have an existing respiratory condition such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease , talk to your doctor before wearing any kind of mask. As mentioned earlier, N95 respirators can make it more difficult for you to breathe, even if you think you are normally good at breathing. Imagine then what could happen if do you have underlying breathing problems. You don’t want to trigger an asthma attack or an exacerbation of your COPD.
