Masking does not prevent one from getting Covid- it prevents one from spreading it. 95% effectiveness at preventing serious illness is pretty damn high. We will wear masks when we are in high risk situations- such as waiting in lines, etc but not in our every day life. And we certainly won't be sitting on a plane- masked or unmasked! We do happen to live in a county in Texas that has a decent vaccination rate.
