I wear a mask in a store to help ensure that other people don’t get the virus from me, should I have already picked it up somewhere else.

If you aren’t coughing, sneezing or talking how would sufficient amounts of the virus be transmitted anyway?
That is very thoughtful of you but hardly productive as to your intention. According to what I have read, any touching of a hard surface, whether wearing a mask with good intent, can infect the virus to you. With or without a mask, there is no guarantee that a person is free of the china virus. Any contact, whether with a person or surface of any sort, can produce a positive for infection. Just take care of yourself and you will not infect anybody or you may have just picked it up from somebody also wearing the mask. I think the current wearing of a mask to either prevent the spread of the virus might be a positive in either dirction for a highly infectious area of the country. Also public awarness of the need for personal hygeine is absolutely a good thing, but no assurance that mask wearing will prevent getting or spreading the virus. You obviously have a good heart and that is a blessing for you and the rest of us.
