Form article:

“The report said LaTulippe told patients they didn't have to wear a mask in the clinic unless they were "acutely ill," "coughing," or "congested," even though the CDC and the Oregon governor had recommended masks be worn to prevent the spread of the virus.”

The doctor is completely correct in saying this. You cannot spread the virus if you are not sick and showing symptoms.

Asymptomatic transmission is BS (as in the individual feels no symptoms). A contagious person can still have symptoms that are not outwardly visible.
