Is your right to not wear a mask greater than mine to go out without worry about getting the virus?

I often hear people say it is their right to go out without a mask. In doing so of course they create a situation where either they catch the virus from someone or they give it to someone. The problem is that by not wearing a mask they make it difficult and dangerous for others to go out in public. And some of the non-mask wearers are the ones complaining the most about shut downs and yet they are just adding to the problem. Even people not at risk are staying home or away from their usual haunts like bars and restaurants worried about catching covid. Many would be more interested in going out if they knew everyone was going to wear a mask and socially distance. So not only are these people violating my right to go out in public without fear of catching the virus, but they are hurting the economy.

Yes. Your fear is none of my concern.

You are free to stay at home just as they are free to go out. People who don't spend money today will have it to spend a month or 3 months from now. Some people have legitimate reasons not to wear masks. People with Asthma or other breathing issues often cannot wear them. Masks make some people claustrophobic. Other people have problems with wearing glasses and masks at the same time. If the ADA protects people to bring their Comfort Chickens on airplanes, then it should protect people not wearing a mask.

Let me paraphrase SCOTUS Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes..."The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins..."

You have no right to be free of viruses or anything else for that matter that happens during normal human interaction. Stop being silly.
 
You have no right to wear a mask. Doing so is a sign of disrespect for Commander Clorox! /s

Ah, very "Christian" of you. It is not my fear, but the actual chances of catching the virus. Look at the 16 people who though as you dd and wewnt to a br in Florida and now all have the virus. I always think of trumpsters as Forest Gump said, stupid is as stupid does.

I am not Christian. You are just a statistic to me.
 
Because you jerk offs refuse to wear a mask my parents are stuck isolated and lonely in their homes. The economy will continue to suck because your egos are more important to you than doing the right thing. There will probably not be sports this year because of you.

Put your damn masks on and lets start this recovery.

You don’t have a right to infect other people, no more than you have a right to take explosives or flammable materials on an aircraft.

Explain this right to me. Do you have a right not to be infected with a cold? What about the flu? And from where do you derive this right?

If you are afraid you should stay home. Were you outraged when leftists massed in the streets to protest?

Yea we are. In fact we never even made it to the woods...it was more like a central park hysteria. Reminded me of when people buy 2 loaves of bread and 4 gallons of milk the night before a 6" snow storm.

Tyranny! OK, I hear you. This can’t be argued on rational ground. But the idea that wearing a mask in public is a burdensome affront to your liberties is infantile.

If you really dislike the mask, you’re going to hate the respirator.

118,000 dead did not all come from NY. And don’t tell me the flu kills a lot of people. That is over a period of 8 or 9 months. This virus 3 1/2 months. Stay out of the woods.

If you think everyone wearing masks makes you safe, you tragically misunderstand the protection a flimsy piece of cloth offers.
Not everyone will be wearing masks. You cannot control that. What you can control is whether or not you want to take risks for benefits.

Pandemics suck. Protect yourself if you are at risk. Stay home.

Or, go out and assume you might be infected.

We don't live in communist China. People have liberties and choices.
This incessant need for control by the Left is tiresome.
