Lots of people saying: “Pah! Masks don’t do anything!”. While others say wearing a mask can reduce the risk of catching the virus.

There was an AMA on reddit by some doctors. One questions was wether masks were effective. When they responded 'not really for the general public', the cries of 'conspiracy! they just want the masks for themselves!' was deafening
