Why face masks should be worn by everyone

The absence of symptoms means your viral load is low or zero and your ability to infect others is entirely based on your viral load. If you don't feel sick, you could kiss people and barely one person would get infected, and they would probably already be with low immunity.

There has been several studies that have shown that if you don't have symptoms, you aren't infectious.

I'm amazed that anyone believes this story about being infectious without symptoms. I am medically trained to safely put piercings in people. When you cut people up for surgery, it's a lot more important because it's wide open, but piercings, as soon as the ring is in place, it's sealed and there's very little risk of anything getting into your blood.

Once upon a time, people believed that HIV could be transmitted by kissing. Guess what, it's not!

Coronavirus is not a blood borne infection, and 99% of transmission happens between people sharing a house with each other.

If you are sick, stay at home. If you think you have to wear a mask to go outside and be around people, you are assuming your are effectively a biological weapon. You are not a biological weapon. You are a human being. You have the capacity to think, and read some old (like, 1 year) medical texts about epidemiology of cold viruses. Nothing changed between now and then about how they spread and who can infect others.

Number one thing to be healthy - eat healthy, get regular exercise (not too much), spend time in the sun. Swim at the beach. The beach is the last place you can possibly infect anyone, sea water is antiseptic.
