"Transmission of communicable airborne infectious diseases by asymptomatic individuals is relatively common. Many airborne diseases can be spread by people who do not show symptoms, making it challenging to control outbreaks."

Ok, I misjudged you. I thought you didn't understand what they were saying, but in fact you just did a crappy job of communicating what _you_ wanted, which was all people to wear masks at all times when in public. Which I guess you can be a dick about, since you're not convincing anyone anyway.

Not trying to convince anyone. Sharing the facts as I know them.

I get it, you're just a smol bean not responsible for your actions.

Very funny to claim this when you were literally responding to a post advocating for not mask scolding because it causes alienation and worsens public health.

Which is (once again) ironically a great example of what the original comment was talking about. If your standard is that all humans should be masked in public at all times and anyone who falls below that has "flawed and inverted" logic is WILD, and needless to say, off-putting to most.

I tip my hat to you continuing to slog through this thread. I got a helpful correction about n-95s when properly fitted do help protect you and I was conflating them with surgical masks. I live in the hinterlands and really underestimated how touchy people are when it comes to masks in 2025

I'm in general a fan of masks, especially if you are sick or are traveling, etc. But there are some people who are really mad that everyone isn't wearing a mask at all times, even though that would be a massive societal upheaval.

ftr, not mad at all.

I’m in the same boat. Heck I live in the hinterlands working retail and got spat on by dumb fucks asking them to mask up when it was state mandated. I know firsthand how deranged people got about it, it sucked!

If you only have a surgical mask, and are sick, it is STILL better to wear the surgical mask than nothing at all.

Absolutely! Ideally you stay home when sick but in this economy that’s not very realistic unfortunately

For many, in any economy.
