That's too much of a risk to me so I wear a mask in public indoor spaces always and public outdoor spaces if they are more crowded than I like.

The long term issues are respiratory, heart conditions in those who never had such previously, cognitive decline unrelated to "regular decline", kidney issues and, apparently the development of diabetes. Probably more to be discovered.

Covid is a damn dangerous illness.
