@spazzpp2 I am convinced masks increase the spread of disease when worn by the general public, probably significantly so. Which puts a lot of this in question.
@freemo
How do you spread covid using masks?
Several ways. First it encourages people to touch their face more as it can be uncomfortable and usally causes people to fidget or itch their nose.
It also means you have to touch an infected mask and face everytime you drink or eat causing your hand and face to spread.
Moreover masks are only supposed to be used for a few hours at a time, so if they arent washed and reused they become particularly infectious
@robryk
Probably goes both ways but with the higher risk for the person wearing the mask.
