Wearing mask makes scientific sense

Godwin Agaba of Trotwood

I am fully and consciously in favor of wearing masks and masks being mandatory in public.

The evidence is clear that wearing masks has a number of benefits.

Perhaps most important is that masks stem the spread of infectious disease. This is based in scientific reasoning.

Masks prevent the spread of disease causing agents from one person to another. This is true for COVID-19 and other kinds of flu.

When one wears a mask, in case he or she is infected, droplets containing the causative virus are trapped within the mask; they do not spread into the air to infect others.

Since transmission can be pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic, and it is not possible to look at a person and know that they carry the disease, masks provide a shield against the unseen.

Masks have saved lives of millions of people who would have acquired the fast-spreading coronavirus.
