Are you suggesting that masks are not important if you're not sick? AFAIK, N95 masks are also used to prevent you from breathing IN the particles from COVID-19...not to mention you could be asymptomatic and walking around producing the airborne particles. As djgallo mentioned though, it's important for you to have a good seal on the face to truly be protected.
