Everyone should wear a cloth mask in public

The main benefit of everyone wearing a face mask is to reduce the amount of  Coronavirus or Influenza virus droplets being coughed up by those with the infection.

Since some persons with the Coronavirus may not have symptoms or may not know they have it, everyone should have a face mask.

The below image illustrates the difference between the distance travelled between droplets and airborne after aerosol generation through coughing or sneezing.
