This is what I did. Got too confident with not getting covid and wasn't as secure as I've previously been, but still masked. Then got it.
It's all a numbers game. You can reduce the risk, but you can't eliminate it. Don't beat yourself up, getting sick isn't a personal failure. And the effort is worth it; every time you don't get sick, every time the precautions work, you're saving yourself that much grief. You might catch it once when other people have had 2, 3, more symptomatic cases and who knows how many asymptomatic cases.
Thanks for that. I keep going back and forth over it
If you masked, you definitely reduced your viral load, which reduced the severity. So you did a lot for yourself already.
