@daas-yochid A single person being uncomfortable is a small price to pay to potentially protect others from a dangerous virus.
What question did you ask me that I didn’t answer? About what situations I was referring to? Well, obviously all those shuls, schools, and simchas that chose to go ahead with no changes due to COVID-19 and didn’t push for their members to wear masks.
Can we acknowledge that this is a conversation about wearing masks to protect others? A mask only offers a small protection from getting a virus. But it offers a huge protection to other people if the mask wearer would Chas v’Shalom be infected. That’s why we can only have these discussions if we agree that wearing a mask is for the benefit of others.
