Wearing a mask does not make it OK to be sick in public.
If you must go out, a mask is better than no mask. But the mask only reduces the probability of infecting others, and becomes less effective the longer you breathe shared air.
You are still putting others at risk. #Covid
@0363f220 We would greatly benefit from normalising and not stigmatising wearing a mask whilst being sick in public. Many people don’t have the resources to stay at home and either need to work or head out to get supplies. Whilst more sick leave entitlements would be greatly beneficial, there is a limit to how much time time this would cover. Masks when sick would be a very positive cultural shift.
