The way I see it there are two camps. The camp of collective responsibility and the camp of personal responsibility.

The first camp places the blame on "everyone else." If you go out in public to a public place and bump into someone not wearing a mask, they are the one to blame if you get the virus.

Second camp blames you. If you go out in public to a public place and bump into someone not wearing a mask, you are the one to blame for getting the virus.

Now me, as someone with asthma, I fall somewhere between these two guys. There is a huge part of me that thinks, if I go out knowing the risks and put myself in all these vulnerable positions and WHO themselves are telling me surgical masks don't do shit and the virus spreads basically any way it wants to, then anything that happens to me is on me.

There's another part that has to do work and buy food that wants some level of responsibility to be shouldered by the public.

However I heavily disagree with OPs ironically narrow-minded view that anyone who thinks they should be allowed to not wear a mask must not be in one of the vulnerable categories. I know people who just survived lung cancer who think these government mandated measures are bullshit.
