COVID-19: Self(ish) Reasons To Wear A Face Mask

Keeping in mind the asymptomatic nature of the Covid virus, it’s an especially good idea to wear a mask to protect others as well as yourself.
But, even if you’re not concerned about other people, consider that what wearing a face mask can do specifically just for you alone: 

1)Reduce the viral load that you’d be infected with otherwise, thus making your immune response less ‘dramatic’;
2)Reduce your touching of your face absentmindedly and help minimize cross contamination;
3)Reduce the hostility directed at you by others;
4)Reduce the subconscious guilt (regrets) you’d feel for endangering others by consciously and deliberately choosing to not wear a face mask.
