You do NOT know if you are infected. Asymptomatic carriers is a major problem for COVID-19. A figure I saw was about 50% of infections come from them.

Here's evidence and list of 34 science papers backing up the utility of masks in slowing down a viral epidemic:

Could you post the list here for us who can't use twitter (permanently disabled JS).
Then your browser does a shitty job of telling Twitter that. Properly blocked JS gives you a link to "legacy" Twitter, which works perfectly without JS. At least viewing, which is all I do.

Does this link work for you?

I've never been able to use it. I get sent to a "do you want to use legacy twitter?" thing, I click Yes and it just gives me the same screen again, every time.

Happens I proxy through squid - it might have something to do with that. If I go direct (no proxy) it works. Interesting.

At least I can get to it, and will read your link this evening. Thank you.

Until I started blocking JS using uBlock Origin, my blocking must have been incomplete. Because I also saw that screen and it never worked. Now, it does.
