Who is safer? A symptomatic person wearing a mask or an asymptomatic person not wearing a mask? Would you rather pick up a can of green beans that a symptomatic (sick) mask wearer had touched or would you rather pick up the can that an asymptomatic (not sick) non wearing mask person had touched?

An asymptomtic person can be just as contagious as a symptomatic person. The mask wearing symptomatic person is safer to be around than the asymptomatic person not wearing a mask.
