The W. H. O., Asymptomatic Spread, and Why Mask Police Are Wrong

I refuse to vilify people who choose not to wear a mask in public. Leading scientists from the World Health Organization collected the data from countries all over the world and concluded that asymptomatic spread of the virus is "extremely rare".

In a press conference, the leading scientist specifically said, "asymptomatic people are not what is driving these cases". While, I point out the hypocrisy that I see in society, I don't care if I see someone without a mask. I don't care about college students going to the bar without a mask on. I don't care if I go into a grocery store and some dude is getting potatoes without a mask on. When you look at the data and consider the actual science rather than the media driven hysteria created for their own corporate rating/profits...then you realize these things:

1) Asymptomatic spread of the virus is rare. So there's no reason for me to freak out when i wear a mask and someone else doesn't.

2) If you included the MILLIONS of undisclosed asymptomatic cases and antibody cases you realize that the CDC was right in concluding that the average person without any underlying conditions has a 99.8% chance of surviving COVID19 even if they get it.

3) You realize that while COVID19 is NOT the flu and is more deadly for some people, its mortality rate is similar based on total asymptomatic cases out there in the population right now.
