    What’s the point of this hypothetical? It’s both not remotely close to where we are currently and has redefined the consequences to absurdity.

    “Would you still wear a mask if the consequence of infection was a single light sneeze?”

    “Would you wear a seat belt if the only consequence of car crashes was a small bruise?”

      Yes because I don’t want car crashes to spread to those are driving safely

      The point of my hypothetical is that communicable diseases have a tendency to evolve to be less pathogenic over time. So it’s likely that each new covid strain is less harmful than the last. I’m wondering where you draw the line?

      Personally, preventing a light sneeze isn’t a big enough reason to wear a mask.
