A single person being uncomfortable is a small price to pay to potentially protect others from a dangerous virus.

Well, obviously all those shuls, schools, and simchas that chose to go ahead with no changes due to COVID-19 and didn’t push for their members to wear masks.

Yes, but can we also acknowledge that just saying it’s easy to wear a mask for long periods of time doesn’t make it true for many, and that nobody is forcing anyone to attend a shul or simcha where masks aren’t worn?
