First, strains typically get weaker not more virulent. Second, between natural immunity and the vaccines most of us carry enough antibodies to protect us from severe illness. Third, the correlation between finding viral mRNA or DNA in a municipal sewage samples and illness is suspect. Just ask yourself, does genetic material or pieces of genetic material amplified by PCR equal living organisms? Forth, masks made no difference in transmission or rates of infection. So go live your life and let the rest of us do the same without useless masking, distancing or pointless mandates.
