Nope.

It is important to convey the actual threat, which is minimal with reasonable care. Stay off the subway and out of other public transportation. Stay out of NYC. Old folks and those with complicating risk factors should carefully choose which exposures they can engage in.

Insisting on masks suggests you can get sick walking down the street. While that could conceivably happen, the risk of death is far greater by just crossing the street at a signal.

We’ve allowed this to far beyond any reasonable disruption. While masks may be harmless or even marginally helpful in some circumstances, they serve as a persistent reminder that you must exhibit irrational fear.

That likely makes matters worse by inhibiting the acquisition of immunity among the masses. For example, children can become immune by existing in children's schools, but instead, we are keeping them home out of irrational fear.
