Damn right I am!!!! I have already bought some. call me paranoid, but I live in a large area, and I have asthma. A regular, typical cold nearly puts me in the hospital each time, because my lungs just can't keep up. So yes, I bought about 100 masks for myself and my roommate. Haven't used them yet, or gotten them, but the first case in my state that is reported, I will. Plus, even in normal times, folks around here cough and hack all over you, while standing inches away! They just don't care, and are very ignorant about such things. So...yes, I bought 'em.
Dust masks won't help. You need a surgical mask. Here is an article that discusses masks, and even tells how to make your own:
