So I don’t wear a mask because I don’t believe it protects others and it hurts the one who wears it. And thank you so much for the way you posted this 😊
I may be wrong since I’m not an epidemiologist. However, it’s my understanding asymptomatic people can in fact spread the virus. Just because they don’t have symptoms doesn’t mean they can’t spread it. I would suggest you do some more research and I will do the same. 😊
Stay safe.
