By "afraid", I meant that we think it might happen, and think it would be bad if it does. Similar to how people can be afraid of global warming.
Ah okay. Why do you think it would be bad? Genuinely asking.
Are you genuinely curious or it is just a bait to subsequently dismiss a response under pretense that any "inconvenience" cannot possibly outweigh "common good" of universal mandatory masking? Because such was my previous experience of biting into such lures.
