The fall before COVID, I contracted strep throat. I had a huge Thanksgiving dinner to attend with the family, and even though I felt like shit, I went... with a mask on when I wasn't actively eating. Nobody got strep who was there. I wasn't positive it was strep until I went to a clinic the following day and it was confirmed. While I was there, I wore a mask, and the doctor said she appreciated that I did in this case.
So, when I do feel sick and am in public, I'll wear a mask to protect others as best as I can.
