This poll makes non sense so there is no point voting.
The risk for covid is the amount of time spent in contact of an unmasked person who is infected enough to be throwing off the virus and how your body will respond. You could never know you had it, or you could be hospitalized or dead. Who knows until you get the virus.
Are the criminal looters armed? The owner or stockholders will suffer loss. The customers will be traumatized, who knows how long.
That's why I properly wear an N95 mask when in the company of others.
Covid is probably about 100 on my list. And "maskless people" don't make my list at all.
As an aside after reading through posts on various covid threads here, a question:
How low of an IQ is required for someone to assume that those not "vaccinated" against covid automatically have and spread covid? 50? 70? Or is it more like about 10? Is it a case where my pet sea monkey would be considered Einstein in comparison?
Maskless people minding their own business don't even make my list of threats to my life and/or safety.
Looters, masked or otherwise, aren't a thing here in TX because police actually enforce laws. We briefly had a couple days of looting downtown during BLM though.
Now, politicians? Yeah, they're a bigger threat than every other threat on my list of top 100 threats combined.

You cannot conflate the two. One involves a loss of property, the other a loss of life. Both should be illegal.
Oh stop. Do the math. What are the chances the person without the mask actually has covid and is spreading it at the very minute you get in line and you actually catch it and you actually get so sick from it that you die? Pretty much zero x zero x zero.
It seems that we have a substantial population in here that believes in stopping Covid transmission at all costs but still are okay with leniency on crime.
If the Republicans are "tough on crime," then why are so many Trump associates and followers either indicted, convicted, pardoned, are serving or have served time?
Maskless people minding their own business don't even make my list of threats to my life and/or safety.
Maskless people are, by definition, not "minding their own business." They're expelling their business onto everyone around them. That's like saying "oh I'm just minding my own business, throwing feces at people in the grocery store."

Looting is typically more of an after-hours activity, not usually a lot of customers around to begin with.

The math is that COVID has killed a million Americans and the 2020 protests killed maybe 25.
Could care less about maskless or unvaccinated individuals. It's their choice to do what they want.
Looters on the other hand, are a scourge to society.
