I have a thought and not sure if it makes sense, but would argue against masks to some extent or at least about how we might implement mask wearing and other behaviors at a personal level.
If the issue with infections are the load and period of time being exposed to a viral environment then someone that has a mild case will be expelling virus every exhale and then pulling some of those viruses back in with their inhale.
Is there any potential for those with mild cases wearing a mask for a long period of time in creating a worse infection for themselves?

Maybe people should, after removing a mask, wash their hands, then their faces (with a cloth too perhaps), and then their hands again?
