This year I go the cold and step infection, so I tried wearing surgical mask to prevent spread of germ but I took it off as soon as I got out of my car. I felt like, the mask was going to signal I had some super dangerous disease that needed to be covered instead of common cold. I couldn't do it but I really want to. Does anyone wear this? What would you think if you saw someone with face mask on covering their nose and mouth?
I live in large city in Midwest, so its not as metropolitan as NYC or SF where there are Asian tourist wearing face mask all the time but we still have lot of diversity. Not many Asian tourist, just Asian American.

Most people wearing a mask do so to keep themselves from catching something, not to keep from spreading something they already have. If you are sick, stay home. In the US, a person wearing a mask may be someone on cancer treatment.
