"The best solution is reusable respirators. No social distancing required." I trust you mean respirator with eye goggles. Any exposed mucus membrane can result in infection.
Yes, but I'd prefer wraparound safety glasses as goggles are probably overkill (eyes don't "inhale," so they're not going to suck up aerosols). I usually don't mention eye protection (or more obvious stuff like hand washing) because reusable respirators are far more important.
Still, I'd prefer to inhale a small concentration of ambient indoor aerosol, which is more likely to result in asymptomatic or mild infection & natural immunity, than get a lung full of highly concentrated aerosol at close quarters. The size of initial inoculum largely determining severity of disease.
Masks have given everyone a false sense of security, and social distancing has largely been abandoned. I'm shocked at what I see while out & about.
If you want some but not a huge amount of exposure, wearing a mask is probably the safest way to do that.
