That is incorrect. Scientific theories that came out years ago can and often are disproved today. Remember this virus started less than a year ago. The science is still evolving on this. I suspect a year or two years from now much of what has been taken as gospel today will change. So what are our choices. We can hide in our homes and never leave or we can go about our lives as normally as possible and take as many precautions as we can. The one thing that is a fact is that this is a virus. You cannot hide from it no more than you can from a common cold or the flu. So it comes down to personal choice and you have to make that decision. So if you choose to go out, wear your mask, wash your hands, use hand sanitizers but remember there is always a risk as is much of life.
No, that is not what this proves. People who wear masks and social distance have much more of a chance to avoid this virus than our President. He is an anti-masker and does not insist that people social distance. The tests which are used to test everyone who comes close to our President have proven to be 50% inaccurate. That breeds false security. He got caught and so did several others. What is so surprising to me is how he was able to avoid contracting the virus before this.
