I understand people think that their freedom is at stake, though for instance during the world wars people in England had curfews instated and orders to keep their lights off during bombings. These things werent to strip away freedom, it was to save lives. I've heard so many people say "let it kill who it's going to kill" and the notion, to me, is disgusting. Many cases can be mild and recovered from, but if you're in a high risk group or happen to catch a rapidly evolving form of the virus because it's spreading so quickly, you can easily end up like the man who survived, but ended up with a 1.1 million dollar hospital bill.

Your premise is predicated upon the theory that if people wear a mask, that this virus is eventually going to go away, and that the fatass won't eventually come across the virus transmitted vicariously through people they come into close contact with in the future.
However.....
By what measure do you think this particular strain of the cold, is going to just disappear?
What is your time horizon that the rest of the world needs to wait it out before we subject your "high risk" individual to a world returned to normal?
I mean, think about it.....all things considered the high risk individual is eventually going to come across Corona, and when they do their chance of survival, percentage-wise, will be the same as it was today, last week, last month, last fiscal quarter....you get where I'm going with this?
