At some point you have to let people choose the risk level they are willing to live with... people risked it to protest and they risked it to go to Trump rallies... both sides of the spectrum... I'm ok with people making their choices and dealing with their consequences.
Any time you taking a serious risk that may affect others, you include those individuals in the serious risk you have chosen to take.
Now if you want to stay at home and drink yourself into a state of alcohol poisoning, have at it. But if you chose to run across a street against a red light where there is traffic, that is another story. You not only endanger your life but the life of the person who will hit you.
You wearing a mask does little for you but it creates a safer environment for everyone with whom you come in contact. At some point, Americans need to wake up and understand their personal liberty extends only as far as their front door. Beyond that point, they are interacting with the community at large and that requires behavior that does not put others at risk.
