Considering that the vaccine makes many delta cases symptom-free, there are probably a lot of undiscovered infections. That would mean, realistically, the more likely to catch figure is lower and more likely to die higher.

N95 maskers are not likely to catch it at all.

The virus isn't going away. It's obviously not realistic to spend the rest of your life wearing a mask.

I will likely be doing so. I only spend 10-15 minutes a day around other people so it's not that complicated for me at least.

That really depends on all of the other hygiene habits, and whether they wear glasses or not.

And to be clear, I'm not saying The Masks aren't good, they are. I use them myself. But it's not an absolute dodge of a bullet.
