Covid-19 and mask wearing

The virus is mostly spread through moisture drops when we breath, cough or sneeze. So if you wear a mask you are less likely to get other people sick.

But I am not sick!

Well some people are sick for a long time before they have any symptons. Also if you protect other people from your drops then they will protect you from their drops.

So people who wear masks are trying to protect me?

Yes, people who wear masks are doing their part to help protect you and they need you to join in and help protect them. It is the same reason why we have speed limits for cars.
