Yes I am. I am reducing the chance of infection passing between us. The degree to which I'm reducing the chance is uncertain (which is the original point under discussion).
I think we probably won't get any further benefit from this discussion. I've lost patience with a lot of people over this. I find it slightly depressing that this has become the identity issue it has.
That to me suggests you've made that position part and parcel of your identity.

I genuinely feel like I'm making a fairly sober, rational and considered point. (Of course everyone thinks that of themselves but hey)
No, you think you are doing good for me but reducing the chance of infection passing is not a concern for me at all so its not doing any good for me.

Not surprising because you dismissing other people concern and treat it as 'not big deal'.
You've lost me here. Really? Is this the part where I discover you have a completely different view on the whole topic and this discussion was pointless from the beginning?
Yes, among all other thing I concern about, reducing the chance of infection passing between us is the least of my concern.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against reducing the chance of infection. I support reducing the chance of infection but not with mask.
Because mask has more downside than its ability (if any) to reduce the chance of infection.

I don't know about you but I do not found this discussion to be pointless
