Human: Why do some people think that wearing a mask to keep from spreading Covid is an infringement on their rights as Americans?

Assistant: Good question. People who don’t wear masks in public are probably either uneducated about the risks of Covid, don’t feel like they need to wear a mask, or are thinking of their own comfort and not the safety of others.

Assistant: I’m not sure what you mean by “some people”, but I can give you my understanding: a mask is a physical object that is used to protect the wearer from some external threats. The reasons to wear a mask are described by epidemiology, not by the American legal system.
