It may or may not be a big risk to enter buildings other than home, mask or not, but it does give you a bigger chance to get unlucky. When I see this giant surge of new cases has a median age in the mid 30s I think "hmmmm...what age group are most grocery clerks and restaurant workers?"

Those workers are wearing masks (at least in the establishments that I go to). That is why I feel safe enough to dine indoors while socially distanced from other diners in an indoor restaurant. Servers are masked. Those masks are blocking the droplets that contain those microscopic virus particles. Those masks minimize those virus laden droplets from escaping into my air space. That safely net offers me a reasonable risk that I am willing to take.

Our economy needs to recover. I'm doing my part to help our economy recover and enjoy my life too. Win Win and hopefully there will be an effective vaccine soon so we can achieve herd immunity to stop this virus in its tracks.
