If staying the hell away from other people helps keep you safe, why wouldn't you? Are you getting your medical advise from a medical professional, a politician or the Campfire?
How about we let the Campfire help you out?
A little more information might help you with some of the mystery. Are you talking individually, or collectively? Individually, I'd advise you to avoid others as an individual. The collective effect of masks and lockdowns is another story. It would appear they do very little for greater population. It just kicks the can down the road praying for a vaccine to someday save them. Someday.
