The figures came with no real information of changes to the severity of illness each produces, nor does it measure whether each is more, or less, infectious.
But it is common for a virus strain to become more infectious, but less lethal over time. However, the sudden resurgence of one mutation in Beijing is showing it to be more infectious and
possibly more lethal. Such details take time to assert, and also depends on the country being willing to publish reliable data.

I was trained NOT to remove a mask unless I could

To this end I carry a squeezy bottle of diluted soap, and wash my hands
and the bottle itself before getting my car keys out for the return journey. I also keep my limbs covered, and remove at least the jacket and place it in the boot with the shopping. The jacket then stays there for several day until I need it again. I also remove my footwear before entering the home, leaving them soles-up to maximise decontamination.
I could do far more, but paranoia isn't that productive at this present time.
