    Do you think the severity of infection is important? Meaning, if previous variants were wiped out and the only variants still spreading were less severe than a common cold, would you keep wearing masks?

      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?”
