You are welcome. It was interesting to see the risk assessed -- even if it doesn't help that much to wear a mask if you are not sick, it does help SOME, and so is worth doing............

And even if wearing a mask doesn't help YOU all that much, since we don't really know how long the asymptomatic period is, you might be protecting OTHERS. Don't wear it for yourself, wear it for you friends.

Wearing a mask is good for all, if we have to be closer than we ought to be. And, yes, we need to be doing what's for the good of all, not just what's good for us. !!! :-)

We are not wearing masks when out walking, as it is easy to be 20 feet or more away from others. But we wear 'em when we are going somewhere and need to be closer to others.
