I would agree if everyone exposed wore masks the spread of this contagion would be reduced considerably.
Logically, I might extend it to everyone wearing masks would considerably reduce the spread of exhaled contagions. This might first be encouraged in high population density areas, like parts of Asia, and first need to be integrated with fashion[0] to have any chance of broad success. I suspect it will never be a preference everywhere barring some sort of serious consequence (like death) for not wearing the mask.
In this situation, I think the most important thing is to know that normally available or homemade masks are helpful for presenting the spread of the disease. The more expensive masks are better but in this instance, not better in a meaningful way for the average person. The current supplies should be saved for those at-higher-risk populations like medical staff.
