True or False: A "sick" carrier poses more of a risk to public health than a "healthy" carrier.

A "sick" carrier, who is exhibiting symptoms of an illness, typically poses a higher visibility risk to public health because their symptoms are more recognizable, prompting quicker action to contain and control the spread of infectious diseases. However, a "healthy" carrier, who may be asymptomatic, can unknowingly transmit pathogens to others without showing any signs of their infectious state.

The public health risk can be profound with healthy carriers, especially in the case of diseases where individuals can spread the infection while appearing to be perfectly healthy. These carriers may engage in normal social interactions, thereby increasing the likelihood of spreading the disease to others who can then become symptomatic, leading to a larger outbreak.

In this case, the correct answer is that a "sick" carrier does not consistently pose a greater risk than a "healthy" carrier, as the potential for asymptomatic transmission makes healthy carriers particularly concerning in public health contexts. Thus, stating that a "sick" carrier poses more risk than a "healthy" carrier would not fully encompass the dynamics of disease transmission.
