I'm confirmed antibody positive. I can't be passing covid germs to anybody. why should I wear a mask?
(I assume we should, if we chooses to continue, move this to one of the numerous covid threads.)
Maybe the thread called
Masks? But as long as I'm here, the reasons to wear a mask are
- to avoid exhaling covid germs that may infect others
- to avoid inhaling covid germs that may get you sick
- to avoid touching your nose and mouth with hands that may contain covid germs
- to contribute to the creation of a social environment in which mask-wearing is accepted and expected
You think you're immune to covid, so 1-3 don't apply, but 4 does.
I'm sure you agree that those who are currently infected, or who haven't been infected yet should be wearing a mask to protect themselves and others. But people don't want to stick out from the crowd, and those who should wear a mask may reject it for this reason. Your wearing a mask helps encourage mask-wearing by those who really need to.
