I will say that in Asia, the CONSENSUS among medical and policy experts is to wear a mask.
If you are asymptomatic, you would want to prevent spread, wouldn't you?
And since primary transmission is via aerosol, if you cover your mouth/nose while outside...
That being said, do not use an N95 while there is a dire shortage of PPE among medical professionals. Do something DIY or similar
Edit: and if medical professionals are resorting to DIY masks as a last resort, that tells you it is better than nothing at all.
I’d rather take medical advice from a healthcare practitioner than from a rocket scientist
Last I checked, rocket scientists were experts in mechanical, aerospace, and propulsion engineering. Molecular biology and medicine are different fields

Holy cow!
I am buying myself a sewing machine!
Agreed with the comment above. If you are going to wear one, please make it rather than buy one as medical professionals are in dire need of them.
One of the largest values to masks if you’re not a healthcare provider is it stops you from touching your own face / mouth / nose. That’s how this spreads. A scarf around the face can be equally effective going grocery shopping. Or just really good self restraint
If it helps you to remember to not touch your face, and helps you keep your distance from people, then you should do it. The efficacy of the mask vs. getting coughed is of secondary importance
Clean hands, go outside, stay away from people, don’t touch your face, clean your hands. You’re okay.
Google cycling or motorcycle masks. Joggers masks with charcoal filters work too, if you’re into the dystopian cyberpunk look.
