Since this is directed at me, I'll respond.
In my opinion, you should both avoid going anywhere at all, then. Masks aren't 100% effective in preventing transmission, or no one would ever die after a simple sugical procedure from sepsis, but it happens.
I also believe you can't penalize the vast majority of people because they "might" infect you, because you're more susceptible to catching something including coronavirus infections (like the seasonal flus and colds).
How is EVERYONE wearing a mask penalizing any particular person? What is so horrible about wearing a mask, staying 6’ away from those you don’t have a close relationship with, practicing simple things that benefits everyone? The masks can provide 50-60% reduction in virus particles, plus deflect most particles upward instead of outward. So if you were a mask, and I wear a mask and we stay 6 ft apart, plus doing basic hygiene, the risk is greatly reduced. We now know it works. Where it is followed, infection rates go down. Where it is ignored, like Sturgis, we have infection rates Shoot up and projections of an addition 250,000 infections, which have already resulted in deaths.
