I agree for other reasons. There is always a risk.

But can we afford to stop our economy and send everyone home? No we can't. So we need to pick winners and losers. Generally construction workers are a hardy bunch without lung or immune system issues. Give them masks and be cautious.

People often ignore the cost of good ideas. It is a great idea to send everyone home into quarantine for weeks, we'd basically nip this in the bud. But we can't afford to. So we need to make sacrifices and weigh the gains and losses.
