'A much more infectious' COVID variant fueling California’s relentless surge

I guess I'm not such a weirdo for still wearing a mask when going out.
Regular masks don't provide much protection for yourself, they're only supposed to stop you spreading something to others. N95s (properly fitted) are the only real ingress protection if something happens to be floating around.
That being said, unless you're immunocompromised there's not much to worry about with covid variants right now
I realize all of that. I think it keeps people further away from me while out shopping, thus the psychological barrier helps more than any filtering.
There's still many short and long term effects from COVID that people who aren't immunocompromised should be concerned about. Also, lack of ingress protection is a moot point if both parties are wearing masks though, right? Which is precisely why mask mandates make sense.
It should be illegal to spread disinfo like this. Blood on your hands.
