It's about protecting OTHER people
I am not responsible for the health/well-being of others, nor should I be required to be.Can't you see whats wrong with your image above?
Unless I'm actively sneezing on you/in your general direction its not the same at all, apples and oranges bro.
If others are fearful I suggest they stay home, which I support BTW because that is their body and their choice to make.
I also do wear a mask when I go out, but I don't ever want to see that become a law/mandate because that crosses the line into my personal freedom (and you don't have the right to do that no matter how scared you are).
