My doctor wears one and it’s not to protect his patients.

That would be racist. Ebolaphobia.

Is it time to start wearing surgical masks in public? Nope. Ebola is not spread through aerosols like measles or influenza is. Ebola is spread through contact with infected bodily fluids (including droplets from, for instance, someone vomiting nearby).
You aren't in danger from someone who has Ebola and has been in the same room. On the other hand, the mask won't protect you from splashes of bodily fluid from someone who has Ebola.
