I can understand and empathize with the feeling of freedom or a certain sense of prior normalcy being taken away. If you think from another perspective, you'll comprehend the reason people like me choose to play along (comply/cooperate) with their game. There is no concrete evidence to support that in the event of a pandemic, the numbers are better without masks than with masks. We simply refuse to be blamed for hogging the few ventilators that are already in short supply.
