The vulnerable should continue to quarantine themselves voluntarily, but the rest of us should be just fine with the masks in crowded situations.
.
It's a two-way street. Using your equation. . . the covid positive "Healthy" must isolate themselves from the vulnerable. . .(elderly over 65, diabetics, those with severe asthma conditions, cancer survivors, women who are pregnant and anyone with compromised immune systems). Otherwise you defeat the purpose of what you propose.
You're the one who argued that masks don't work. And while they actually do, they don't eliminate 100% of the infections.
Adding to that.
As is known one country tried the segregate the vulnerable approach. Sweden. (Though in the USA the vulnerable includes black men and women, not just the elderly).
It did not work. The vulnerable were NOT protected. Sweden has one of the highest per capita death rates in the world and the elderly were particularly afflicted.
