What about, "it's worse than the flu, but no individual action I take will prevent me from getting reinfected every year, so I've just resigned myself to reinfection for the rest of my life"
Huh masking works and will almost certainly prevent some of those infections. I mask and use iota carrageenan nasal spray any time I’m in a public indoor space and have never gotten covid. Of course also get your vaccines, shockingly few people are boosted and thus have lost the immunity
I'm a teacher.
I'm stuffed in a room with 15 - 25 students who don't mask. When it spreads, it spreads like wildfire through the campus.
I wore a mask every day for 3 years and got every vaccination, but I still get it every year. There's really no avoiding it.
The mask will still decrease your initial exposure "load," which correlates with the severity of your infection. Fewer starter viruses means a less impactful infection (as far as COVID is concerned).
