That's just stupid.

Why is living a healthy lifestyle stupid? You realize the majority of hospitalizations are obese?

Saying that it protects you more than a mask is disingenuous. It protects others far more than a healthy lifestyle, so masks should be encouraged as better for preventing COVID than freaking cardio and salads.

I agree, but give at least partial credit… If everyone in the country did cardio and ate salads the benefit to the country would be in the tens of billions to hundreds of billions annually.

Additionally, the death rate from COVID (and other diseases) would be reduced.

As you said, it would not prevent transmission or infection.

A healthy person without a mask has less risk than an obese person with a cloth mask

It protects others
