You're arguing against your own post.

Unbelievable.

30-year-old Texas man who organized anti-mask protest dies of COVID-19

At least 6 conservative radio hosts and anti-mask advocates have died from COVID-19

I quickly learned that many patients with advanced COVID-19 disease bore none of the hallmarks of severe respiratory illness until they suddenly collapsed and died.

I'm quite the hermit / recluse in comparison to most folks.

Far more things out there scarier. Worrying about is probably more harmful, causing stress which lowers your immune system ... When it's your time, it's your time.

I think a couple of you need to work on your reading comprehension.

I DO wear mask indoors (at vendors), since can't enter without. Restaurants, well, silly, as you can take off as soon as you sit down, or feel comfortable. Only visit 1 anyway and it's open air, so not going to wear a mask to walk 10 meters to sit at one of the curbside tables. Especially when half the staff don't bother either.

I AVOID crowded places ... entirely. Rarely. if ever, is there a person within 5 meters of me, when I'm out & about with the dog. Park and surfside, many times I'm the only person within 50 meters. That would be the social distancing part of precautions. Common sense does rule occasionally.

Until they get a grip on this, years away, if ever, I'm not going near anyone I don't have to, whether they are masked or not.

Vaccine ... well, guess I'm a twunt, as that actually scares me more than C19. Another topic for another thread. Don't bother showing me surveys and test results, as frankly I don't trust any of them. All connected to the sellers of the snake oil, one way or another.

I mean, depending on your physical health and age, there's possibly an extremely low chance you'll get sick from it. So I get your point. No point worrying about it. If I was old and had health conditions - damn right I'd worry about it. But I'm not. And I don't.

I'm old and have health conditions and I'm not worried about it. I've never been able to understand the benefit of worrying.

Mask wearing in London is at about 1-10% (I'm being extremely generous with the 10%) I'd say. Noone's really bothered about it here anymore.

I only wear a mask in shops now. Sometimes, if I must be in a group of people I may wear one simply as I'm not particularly fond of my face.
