I genuinely do hope we see widespread behavioral change, where people are more considerate, and choose to wear masks... when they are sick or recently exposed to someone who is.
I am not sick though.
- yazboo 5y agoAre you unconcerned about asymptomatic transmission? As I understand it, a big reason why there's a pandemic is that you might not necessarily know whether you're infectious. Asymptomatic individuals are indeed less infectious on an individual basis, but I know of at least one study [1] which purports to show a lot of transmission from asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic people.
