I’ve heard several times from experts that I should only wear a mask when I show symptoms, to protect others. But what about the incubation period? Could I not spread the disease before I start showing symptoms?

- fouc 7y agoNot all experts are saying this. CDC organizations in different countries recommend wearing masks. I think mainly this was to prevent supply problems. But we don't all need to wear medical grade masks to gain the benefits.
- calmworm 7y agoYou may never show symptoms and still spread it. Everyone should be wearing masks in public, if you must be out and near anyone else. The title of the post says it all.

- xbmcuser 7y agoWhich experts in the western countries because of shortage of masks they have spread this false narrative that masks don't work. Masks work they won't 100% of the time but even if they work 50% the spread of the virus halves.
