If you’ve never had COVID-19, this research study needs you!

It’s kind of counterintuitive, but in total numbers infected, we may be more infectious when we’re asymptomatic, as most humans aren’t complete assholes (YMMV), so when we are coughing or sneezing we tend to stay away from people (and people stay away from us) whereas when we’re infected but not symptomatic, we may still be producing infectious droplets, but may not shield other people as much as we do when we are symptomatic.

Your allergies may be better due to your mask helping you breathe in less pollen/mold/MAGA hat fibers.

ETA: I did see a communication somewhere that asthma attack rates are less, possibly from the mask, but possibly less people driving too.
