The way I see it, every law we pass is, roughly, choosing a tradeoff between liberty, safety, and economic productivity. We don't allow people to drive as fast as they like. On the interstate, we limit that to say 75 mph. That leads to more deaths than if it were 25 mph. Collectively, we have decided that 75 mph lies near some optimum. Certainly, some view it as too fast, some view it as too slow. Not everybody has the same risk tolerance. It's no different with masks.
