Masks and You

Are you sick? Are you a healthcare worker or for some reason have to worry about someone accidentally coughing or sneezing in your face? 

If not, please don't buy masks so those mentioned above can do so. Everyone is trying to buy them right now and only mostly having a hard time because of paranoid hoarders. Please don't be one. It's easy enough to craft a good enough substitute with scarfs, handkerchiefs, and t-shirts. (Edit: At the point where there were no longer a shortage of masks and CDC reversed it's decision, I of course did as well.)

Remember that if you're more concerned with spreading the virus in case you're sick than to try to protect yourself from others. You'll better protect both yourself and others at the same time. All just by going around pretending that you're the one who's maybe sick.

This is the most useful approach to life right now due to the fact that many don't realize they're spreading the virus. Less than half of those who have it actually show no symptoms but are still very contagious. You need not have a cough to be sick with this thing.

Think about it.

The experts are saying that symptoms appear to worsen the more dose of virus you receive so even if everyone in your family is sick, constantly keeping surfaces clear and THAT's when you need to be wearing masks. You can RE-infect yourself literally worsening the progression of this disease.
