Ciao Mark & TonyM Both of you make Good points but also, maybe, miss some things ...
1 - how do you know that infected people wear masks? Most of them don't likely know themselves they have it. See the Korean case of Patient31 ... https://graphics.reuters.com/CHINA-HEALTH-SOUTHKOREA-CLUSTERS/0100B5G33SB/index.html 2 - when you go shopping are you happy the cash till operator is unmasked given they see more people than you would? . Here in Italy cash till operators wear the close fitting N95 type mask. For both their own protection and customer re-assurance. . Is that merely psychological? I don't think so. Your context is maybe societies with low transmission. Mine is not that. We trying to get the genie back in the bottled.
