I'm around the public for about 10+ hours a day; I've worn a mask everyday since this started a year ago and haven't been infected yet. Maybe it's luck; maybe it's keeping people out of my space.
So far about 8% of the population of Florida have been infected by this virus. So we have less than a one and ten chance of getting it. The fact that you deal with a lot of people on a regular basis increases your chances of contracting it, but the fact that you wear a mask and are careful about social distancing probably balances that off.

I don't think that you are lucky. I think that with a 8% chance of contracting this virus, people who get it are unlucky. And people that protect themselves by following CDC guidelines are lowering their odds of contracting the virus even more.
