No, you shouldn't. you should start thinking. The official advice is to not wear the mask becaus it will not protect you. that is absolutely right. but the official advice is not considering, that there are other reasons to wear the mask. exactly that others will be protectet if you are infected and wear the mask.

that is also what officials say, you shoulkd wear the mask if you are infected. but with corona, infected persons have for about a week not method ob knowing that they are infected. they feel fine. but they are infected and should wear the mask as officials say. so ... how do we achieve that hey who caanot know they are infected all wear masks? Right, we all wear masks becaus then they will be includes ans also will wear the mask.
Think! It is not magic. but this thought is completely missing in the media.

very right. but now it should be contained that the hospitals are not beeing overrun. loot at italy. they had between 2% and 3% dead persons among all infected. after arond 2nd march, the hospitals were overrun and now the have 7.7% dead of all infected. http://www.salute.gov.it/portale/nuovocoronavirus/dettaglioContenutiNuovoCoronavirus.jsp?lingua=italiano&id=5351&area=nuovoCoronavirus&menu=vuoto
2158 dead among 27980 totally infected is 7.71%.

This too much, we cannot risk that. we should at least try to contain corona, keep the number of infected at any time low ... till there ia a medicine.

China had the total quarantine on many citys. they now have loosened up thes method, because their health system is no longer overrun. but they still habe some new infected every day. to prevent the epidemic from starting again they have to continue with some actions till there is a medicine. so what we will see from china and southkorea is, that even as the have stopped the initial outbreak, they will continue to wear all masks so long till there is a medcine. otherwise the epidemic will start again.

Italy and quarantine (quaranta giorni, meaning "forty days") - a pretty long history, Italy has been a leading country in coping with diseases usually coming form Asia and Far East via maritime transport:

Clearly you "Did your research!" Karen.

Ok. One last point though. Our Prime Minister here in Australia has admitted, in being honest, that virtually nothing is going to stop the spread of the virus. The IMPORTANT point he made, is that we are/need to control it on a "Flatter Curve", than otherwise, so that it remains manageable within the hospital/medical system, regarding beds/resources etc. for the duration.
