Are you insinuating that any improvement is not worth pursuing? Let's look at this a different way:

I have COVID and I'm contagious. I don't know that, of course, so I go to the grocery store. The same grocery store you're shopping it. We cross paths in the cereal aisle.

Would you rather me be wearing a mask?

As callous as it sounds, I don’t think doing things for “any improvement” means it is worth doing. Everything has a cost/benefit ratio. Are you going to wear a mask for the rest of your life in public and private (your household matters too) because you could catch the flu or someone could catch it from you? Are you going to stay out of motor vehicles because they could injure you or someone else?

People have become so extreme in their views that every single life matters that they forget how our 2019 way of life still had significant risk that nobody batted an eye at.

That is not what I insinuating at all.

>Would you rather me be wearing a mask

If you are sick, you should rest at home, just like with any other illness. I wouldn't care whether you wear mask or not.

That's not what was asked. Covid has an up to two week asymptomatic period, there's a high chance that someone around you when you go out is infected and doesn't know. Would you rather them be wearing a mask or not?

I already answer it :

>I wouldn't care whether you wear mask or not

Its up to them, make no difference to me, I have no reason and no interest to require them to wear mask.
