I don’t think that there are very many who believe that my freedom gives me the right to drink and drive. If I do, I endanger not only myself, but others on the road.
Wearing a mask is similar. If I don't wear one, I endanger myself. But, if I have the symptomless version of this virus, which is common, I also endanger everyone I am in contact with.
Is a mask perfect? No. Is my driving perfect when I am dead sober? I doubt it, but it is much better. It is similar with masks. We need to wear them to bring this pandemic to an end.
