		Lewton on March 27, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How South Korea Reined In The Outbreak Without Shu... Seriously. How is it possible to still be ignorant about the (up to) 2 week asymptomatic incubation period? This is the entire reason why the virus is so dangerous! And where did OP mention anything about masks protecting the carrier from infection?

See my other reply. Plus I said "And if YOU are infected you should not be out anyway"

The point you're missing there is that some people are asymptomatic. They don't know they're infected.
