I would agree with you if the "virus" wasn't heavily politicized

This has nothing to do with how politicized the issue is (not that there's any way to deal with a pandemic on this scale without politicizing it, given that managing it requires political action). It has to do with the fact that it's airborne, extremely easily transmitted, can be transmitted by asymptomatic people, and all of these risk factors can be mitigated to some extent or another by having as many people as possible wear masks. The media and politicians can do whatever they want, but common sense will still dictate that wearing a mask is a good idea (provided it doesn't interfere with the supply for the medical professionals that are at highest risk, which homemade options do not).

Your entire position on this seems to be "the media and politicians say this is a big deal so I'm going to believe that it is not because I'm so smart," with no actual basis given for that position or even a concrete idea of what that position entails. That's not an informed, enlightened, or even basically sensible position, despite how you insist on acting. A little less intellectual masturbation and a little more basic common sense.
