Yeah, you run with that. We will pretend everyone wears and handles their masks exactly as they should. Are you wearing your face mask properly? Many people aren’t, coronavirus experts say https://www.seattletimes.com/life/ar...s-experts-say/ Quote:

Here's a simple question -
If it's known, or even probable, that wearing a mask prevents others from getting sick from germs you may have (asymptomatic), do the anti-maskers deny that having the vast majority of the population wear a mask would reduce the spread? |

Do you think we should all just assume we have it and if so until when? How long do I have to go without having it before I can say I don't have it? |

You, yourself, recently had an event in your life where the possibility that it had somehow made it into you household was very distinct. I think taking the small step of wearing a mask during the pandemic JUST IN CASE should be everyone's civic and patriotic duty. Your other question has already been answered, pete. |

Sorry I get the entire asymptomatic thing but there comes a point that you either just say wear the mask for the rest of your days or like with anything else, if you show symptoms perhaps you should take precautions. What you are essentially asking people to do is live in a perpetual state of fear. And as it has been demonstrated time and time again, wearing a mask can easily be ****ed up if you aren't very strict about it and we know most people aren't going to be. To me the most common sense approach right now is if you have symptoms don't go out, period. If you need to go out then wear a mask and be diligent about it. Otherwise practice your 6 ft and hygiene. If you're staying away from people, i.e. 6ft you're doing more to protect others than wearing a mask the data seems to show. And a casual stroll of seconds past someone in a grocery store isle isn't exposing you long enough one way or the other. We know this. The mask thing just seems to be kinda along the lines of cell phones on airplanes, I don't know. |

I attempted to quarantine but was unsuccessful outside of sleeping in a different room and using the other bathroom.
I did wear a face mask in common household areas but not outside. I did not do any food prep. My family also did not get it. Think my mask helped? |
