There are laws to make people wear seat belts in cars, and speed limits on public roads. Seat belts basically are to protect the wearer, and speed limit and other traffic laws are to protect everybody. Mask laws would be to protect other people. Someone without a mask, and is an unknown carrier, could cause the death of many. I hate government telling me what to do as much as the next guy, maybe more, but I also don't want to possibly die because of someone not using what I would call common sense.
