A smaller chance of getting an infection? Maybe, maybe not. Again, it’s simply not supported by science. (I refer you back to some of my earlier comments about the possibility of masks becoming reservoirs of viral material and aiding in infection via surfaces.)
When there’s really good science showing that the benefit of wearing a mask outweighs the risk, I will voluntarily put one on. Until that time, as long as I’m not exhibiting symptoms (in which case I will stay home), I will feel free to continue the normal human interactions that are so vital to our emotional and mental health.
