quote:You're addressing a different point of the message. I'm keenly aware of viral load relative to prognosis. There is no evidence that one's wearing of a standard mask affects that. In response to the OP premise, a mask reducing contracted viral load for the wearer was the contention.
He’s correct, actually.

You are being pedantic. Yes if you and only you wear a mask, it doesn't do much if others don't (obviously).
The message to wear masks however is not only going out to you, i.e. if many (vast majority) individually follow the advice, mask wearing has the potential to reduce spread.
If everyone were to say 'If I wear a mask it won't make a difference', then yes it won't since you didn't wear one. The opposite of that is also true. Why can't you connect the dots?
