But that's how you MIGHT contract Covid-19. I'm a supporter of science and wear a mask and do all the things to assure the safety of my family but the point OLB is making is a sound one. We measure risk based on ROI and do MANY things that present a measurable death rate without batting an eye!
For hundreds of years we have largely ignored the fact that the flu is killing people in large numbers. Those numbers can be decreased by vaccination but we make that a choice and do not mandate mask wearing during flu season.
Perhaps the return on your investment in not wearing a mask During COVID pandemic would prove worthwhile? Why don’t you go try it?
Did you even read my whole post?
Specifically this part I made it larger and bolded it for you so you won't miss it this time:

You should be embarrassed or save face by apologizing
