All bets became off for me after hearing about Von Miller getting infected. He was interviewed and said he was absolutely staying inside his house with the exception of going out for food maybe 4 times over the last month.  He said he took every precaution and still ended up with this coronavirus.  

The CDC's own website says the virus can spread in the air as far as 13 feet. Face coverings take that down considerably.

Von Miller also said his symptoms were "a little cough" and he "is not uncomfortable."  The report on Miller is hardly "jarring" (as the ESPN interviewer termed it, and if you only read the article you'd never know that Miller is fine).  And I find it as likely that he contracted it through expected channels (i.e., he may have forgotten or downplayed an interaction) as he was hit by a 6+ foot passerby tossing air in his general direction.  

But go ahead and wear a mask at all times when outside.  That's certainly your prerogative.

BTW, does wearing a mask more often require you to purchase more of them, or can one mask last for weeks/months/forever?
