The ones that are at risk are the ones that have to protect themselves wear masks and gloves and stay at home.
Your examples Flyingby is to protect the people at risk when they should protect themselves.
Helmets, seatbelt, condoms... are a no brainer I am protecting myself at risk. They protect themselves at risk of catching COVID-19 by wearing a mask. I'm not at risk I don't wear one.

Complete left wing socialism does not work in a society based on pure capitalism. It's me first and then the others if I want to. You can't impose to me to go wash dirty socks or skin potatoes at l'accueil Bonneau. The same way that you can't impose to me to wear a mask for less than 1% of the population that I should be really preoccupied with. If you want to go volunteering and wear a mask go for it. Take your brownie points and scout badges and try to book an escort with them
Our economy is suffering very badly. A lot of people and businesses went or are going to go bankrupt. Tell them "Lot of Me, me, and only F’ing Me F’ers around here." and see what they will answer you. In fact more people and businesses are going to go bankrupt then there will be REAL reported deaths from COVID-19.
Everybody is dying from COVID-19 including people that have motorcycle accidents to people dying from multiple sclerosis. I would like to know what the real death toll is. Ain't going to happen...
The problem with this pandemic is that everyone is at risk of developing severe complications and also long term ones. You don't have to have a predisposition to have severe effects from this.

Please prove this affirmation with imperial evidence.

You cannot compare eating meat at a BBQ to pandemic response. Its not on equal footing. But i believe in reasonable accommodation, so like i said I will provide food that all people can eat. I don't have any vegan friends who have side effects from smelling meat so no problem there. If i did know someone that goes ballistic, then would need to stay home. To me that is not a world health issue. My sister in law is allergic to fish and can get seriously indisposed just from the smell. If she comes to my place i will not cook fish out of respect because that is a health issue. A worldwide pandemic, however, is in a class all by itself and i believe all precautions should be taken to curb its spread. Anyway you believe what you want and i will believe what i want.What if your 2,5 vegan or vegetarian friends have a predisposition of going ballistic or become nauseated at the sight or smell of meat. Will you put smoked plexiglass everywhere and heavy duty ventilation and make everybody wear masks so if someone talks to them after eating meat they will have no issues? Will you just go politically correct and make it a no meat party since like alcool nobody needs meat there are plenty of substitutes.
And we are not the old farts.
As a very wise old lady once told me they don’t give medals for being young, everyone was once.If you are not the old fart yet than with time you will be one and than we shall see how your perception will change
What you are not taking into account is the immunity factor.I have somewhat cynical and perverted view on all of this. I don’t know why you guys complain about people without masks. I look at the rapidly rising infection rate with optimism as it tells me that this will be mostly over at the end of summer. I think this is what Tramp’s plan is about: to get it peak and die before the election time. The cost does not matter as people have a very short memory (Cuomo is an example). The science hints that with 20-30% “buffer” layer of infected the rise will be never exponential again though “smouldering” can go for much longer. Let younger folks have “chickenpox parties” if they are not afraid, so we old farts can start hobbling again in the fall.

The typical corona virus, like the common cold , doesn`t give you a very long immunity....months maybe a year. There is indication that covid19 immunity starts to weaken several months after recovery. Antibodies lessen and weaken to the point where you can get re-infected. Unless there is a viable and effective vaccine then there will be a second wave re-infecting many who have recovered from the first wave of covid19
