- Prevents spread. Are you saying asymptomatic people don’t spread the virus ?NT Frank L 9:43am · 8/3/20
  - How do they spread it?NT IrishMac 9:53am · 8/3/20
    - Same way symptomatic people do.NT Frank L 10:00am · 8/3/20
      - Well, they would be considered symptomatic then correct?NT IrishMac 10:23am · 8/3/20
        
        Not unless they are feeling symptoms.NT Frank L 10:29am · 8/3/20
        
        The point is, the primary method of transmission is from coughing, sneezing, etc... IrishMac 10:41am · 8/3/20
        
        or talking loudly, singing, etcNT ND_in_DRO 12:55pm · 8/3/20
        
        Uhm how about breathing? Something we do continuously with or without symptoms. How about talking, Frank L 11:10am · 8/3/20
        
        Those are essentially aerosolized particles and your standard surgical or cloth mask is doing IrishMac 11:32am · 8/3/20
