The how much is definitely a variable that isn't on most peoples radar.

I agree. The perception is you either have it or you don't...but there does seem to be a case for viral load exposed to and level of illness.
I am not sure what the data is on that, but you do see doctors and nurses being exposed to a very high concentration and duration of exposure to virus and they can get very very ill..
So, again, my mask crusade does allow mitigation of viral load taken in as there is a barrier to block more virus from getting up you nose...
I don't see a path to balancing without masks for the general public...either commercially produced or homemade. Get something in front of your face holes.
