@crowgirl And yet we still, knowing its use, only use gloves and a mask when dealing medically with a person (such as doing surgery)... why? because most of us would rather take the very real risk, knowing respirators are going to reduce it, because living our lives in hazmat out of fear, however real, is no life at all. I will take the risk if it means I can be comfortable and enjoy my day more.

Its like hyochondria with this stuff... like sure, if you never shake hands, wear a mask all the time, and wash your hands obsessively you will be at a marginally less risk.. but there comes a point where its just not worth the tradeoff.
