Rockstar, no problem. I hope you're right. I really do.

Why everyone should wear a mask- whether infected or not:

At first, I was skeptical about surgical masks because of all the officials in Western countries claiming they do not protect you if are not infected. Now I know this is absolutely not true. They are basically lying.

They only say this to discourage people from buying them because of world-wide shortages. The good news is that surgical masks work almost as well as N95 masks at blocking coronavirus particles. Get a mask if you can and always wear it when going out. N95 is best, but surgical masks also work great at blocking this virus as long as they fit fairly well with few gaps. Heck, even a handkerchief blocks 28% of coronavirus particles. Eye protection is also a must.
