That being said, unless you’re immunocompromised there’s not much to worry about with covid variants right now

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.
