But.... You can't really consider such an idea as serious.....
Surgical masks have standards... Of fit, material and micron filtration. The idea of simply knocking off a few without access to those standards makes the idea less than feasable.....

I don't know how serious everyone is. That said, when it comes to diseases, the initial dose of a pathogen plays a critical role in how sick you get and how quickly you get there. For those reasons, any amount of protection that reduces the number of pathogens you are in contact with will be much better than wearing nothing.
Specially since this virus transmits through droplets when you cough or sneeze, even a simple cloth over your face will capture those droplets and prevent you from breathing them in.
