If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. If you dont, then dont. Stop making me a bad person if I'm not sick at all and I dont wear a mask.

How do you know you are not sick? COVID could stay in your body for first few weeks & you wouldn’t know it. - Asymptomatic

at this point, it should be abundantly obvious that the point of mask-wearing is collective protection from asymptomatic people. You’re a bad person because you’re actively putting others in harm if you’re not wearing a mask in public, because there is a chance you’re an asymptomatic carrier.

You might not know if you are sick or not, though. There have been many asymptomatic cases.

You don't know if you have flu or not either and yet no one has worn masks when there is a flu season.

They do in other countries. Nice little lesson to be learned there.

Mortiality rate is close:

Fauci: “The seasonal flu that we deal with every year has a mortality of 0.1%.”

Mortality for Covid is 0,14%: https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-who-estimates-10-of-global...

wouldnt it be apples to oranges comparison? Flu 0.1 when no measures are taken. 0.14 when quarantines and mask wearing are in effect.
