Masks

 Pretty shocking

"The CDC study, which surveyed symptomatic COVID-19 patients, has found that 70.6% of respondents reported “always” wearing a mask, while an additional 14.4% say they “often” wear a mask. That means a whopping 85% of infected COVID-19 patients reported habitual mask wearing. Only 3.9% of those infected said they “never” wear a face covering."

The question is then: Why does the CDC continue to instruct people to wear masks? Maybe it is b/c the mask protects not the one wearing it but those around him from catching the virus? Maybe for other reasons?

Like I have said many times: This is a new illness and we know much too little about it. So err on the side of caution...
