Public Health officials all say the mask is the #1 protection for others. It should be worn to protect others. All people should wear masks. Could you cite the article about the size of the virus and the inefficacy of masks?

In 3 whole months new things get discovered and learned and disproven the reproven (are those words?). If it is proven that is true that does not make it a "myth" it just makes it as something new that has been discovered. There will be a lot more changes as it's only been 3 months.

How many people have died from previous viruses verses this year? How many of these were from the most vulnerable? Frankly, I’m starting think we’re being infected with viruses by the “annual” push for flu shots. I never had flu shots, until I moved TV’s and have gotten so sick with flu every year. This past year, I refused the flu shot and I thought my doctor was going to throw me out of his office for refusing the shot. He was so angry. Guess what, I did NOT get sick this year. Being a Floridian, I’ve learned how to keep away from snowbirds and their germs etc. The best way is don’t go to the doctor, get medical testing during snowbird season. These waiting rooms are infested with viruses and bacteria.

Exactly! and that’s why everyone should have been wearing masks all along when being around other people, IMHO.

And kill over 110,000 people.

They say you are breathing in your own bacteria and you are also breathing in your own nitrogen which is harmful to the brain when you are breathing it constantly. It was also reported early last week that you should only wear a mask if treating someone with the virus. Who knows if this information will change next week like everything else but I choose to breathe in oxygen versus my own bacteria or nitrogen.
They hide all the pretty smiles we used to see. And people are so hateful towards each other over the virus. So sad to see. You’d think that by the time a person reached their senior years they’d have learned how to interact respectfully with others. Especially those who claim to be Christian.

If it is that easy to destroy the free world economy then it needs a serious revamp anyway. On a lighter note, not sure if you all saw the meme recently posted elsewhere on TOTV with Doc from “Back to the Future” saying to Marty - “Whatever you do, don’t stop in 2020!” A good chuckle, but I sure hope 2020 ends on higher note.

Another major change from what we were initially told!
When are people going to accept that we have been fed incorrect data and supposed facts from the get go?
Would you seriously consider ANYTHING the WHO puts out these days as truth? What if at China's bidding this information was disseminated to cause more infections? At this point, I would be fact checking anything I could and using common sense to guide my actions.

I would not believe W.H.O.
Just take care of yourself. I would rather be safe then sorry.
For me I will wear a mask. I will do what is best for me.

If a person has contracted COVID 19, but are asymptomatic, they can spread the virus. Those who are NOT INFECTED and are asymptomatic, it is much rarer that they can spread the virus. Aside from that, the scientists don't know everything about this virus, yet. Wear a mask to protect others and yourself.

There is just a degree of paranoia like I have never seen before?
Ok its just your opinion not to wear a mask - the problem the mask is not for you its for me!

If you happen to be stuck in an elevator and you start sneezing or coughing contaminating the air in this space, what about the other people in the elevator.

What if you have a common flu is it ok with you to spread it to others?

Quit thinking of just yourself, the death count is near accurate!

Here is the article, whose headline you quote and if you read to the VERY end you will see the Correction.

Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is '''very rare,''' WHO says
