If you have a bad cold or the flu, do you continue to drive passengers? If you do, do you wear a medical mask?

I wouldn't.
I missed out on working NYE because of allergies that left me sneezing and congested and I felt like that wouldn't be a 5 Star look for me.
With an actual cold I'd be worried I'd spread it. right put PAX off uber for life if I made them sick.

Trust me, riders still travel when sick and they leave their germs in your car with recycled air conditioning.Mate would you be happy if you were the rider and the driver had a bad flu??

No.
You shouldn't do it .
Here in the United States,in Washington state,over 170 people have died from the flu.
You would be miserable. It is dangerous as your mental state will not be at the top performance.
It just isn't right to knowingly expose your passengers to it.

I asked about wearing a medical mask because I have noticed many people wearing them in Japan, where I'm now holidaying. I noticed the same thing in South Korea on my way to Japan.
Those wearing the masks have included many taxi drivers.
I don't know if they're wearing the masks because they have colds or because they're afraid of catching one themselves.
I agree it would not be culturally acceptable to do the same thing as a taxi or Uber driver in Australia.

Very common around SE Asia. I think it's reached a point where it's just considered courteous or something.
Also... (trivia time) The masks don't prevent you from catching something, they prevent you from spreading something to others. The masks are useless as a prophylactic for yourself.
