The problem is that you don’t know what someone else’s needs are. Wearing a mask doesn’t protect you, it protects the people around you.
You choosing not to wear one puts everyone else at risk, even if they’re wearing one. And if someone is a caretaker/family of a person with elevated risk, they still have to go outside sometimes (groceries, pharmacy, etc). If you’re a carrier of covid and are unaware of it, and you choose not to wear a mask, that person is helpless to your spit droplets that you’re spraying everywhere.

If all the old-but-independent had food dropped off at their doorstep for two months while the rest of us just let ourselves get sick, this thing would have been over very quickly with not that many deaths. Instead, young healthy people are hysterical and irrationally think they are going to die from this.
