You bring up a good point though, I think this debate hinges on responsibility and what people expect from their Government.

My expectations for my government are that they protect our country from foreign powers through the military. They protect my rights, primarily through negative rights vs positive rights.

Is it the governments role to force me to wear a mask as a 35 year old healthy human? Or is the responsibility of the 65 year old female who weighs 450lbs to limit her interactions with the public and wear her mask and be hyper vigilant? I lean heavily on it's the role of the individual. You seem to want the Government to enforce and dictate how we should all be acting despite obviously disparate risk factors across the population.


BTW: I wear a mask daily as my job as a IT Field tech requires me to travel and visit retail environments. So my exposure has been as high as any job out there, so my risk level of getting it are higher, so I wear my mask. It's simple
The government shouldn’t have to force you or anyone else to do anything. Your Christian soul should’ve compelled you to do the right thing without being asked. Sadly, we don’t live in the country of my youth. Or maybe we do. This place is slowly lurching towards becoming a shit hole like Iran

SAD!
