I work at school with a population of more than two and a half thousand students and teachers for many years. When the SARs started, there was one room that was yearly closed down due to seasonal flu.
Of course, blame it to the dormant virus that strikes during the rainy season where a lot children get sick. Yearly, this room is always shut down for a week or two as almost three-quarters of the class get sick. No amount of disinfectant and domestos can kill whatever virus that sticks on the wall, floor, tables and stuff inside the classroom. We were doing book activity and went around to check their work and gave them a timely feedback whilst doing their numbers.
As I stopped on one of the girls, she sneezed so hard on her book. Later after the class, I collected the books and marked them. Just one abrupt cough with respiratory droplets….. I called in sick the next day with high temperature, runny nose, flu and phlegm. This is how virus is being transmitted from one person to the next…. It is a viscious cycle of infection. Without a doubt, some will disagree with wearing a mask. But I will keep wearing it all the time. When you wear a mask, it will block the germs that come out of your mouth and nose whenever you talk, laugh, sing, cough, sneeze and breathe.
