Hi! Let me tell you why we wear masks. I have 2 kids (plus their significant others) quarantining together. All four tested positive for antibodies, meaning they had COVID-19. 1 had a fever. 2 lost smell/taste for a couple of weeks, but were told by docs not to get tested,/1
...because they didn& #39;t have fever. One had no symptoms at all. ALL FOUR HAVE HAD THE VIRUS, but you wouldn& #39;t have known it, from their symptoms. THIS is why masks matter. People can have and spread this virus without any symptoms. If you are one of them, and you/2
..wear a mask, you& #39;re protecting other people. Someone may look absolutely healthy...FEEL healthy...and still have COVID-19. Masks don& #39;t protect you from acquiring the virus, but they protect someone who has it - even someone asymptomatic - from spreading it./3
RECAP: I have 4 kids, 3 asymptomatic, who have recovered from having COVID-19. They wore masks, and that& #39;s why people they came in contact with did not get the virus. Moral of this story: Don& #39;t be a dick. Wear a mask.
