Besides, not everyone is wearing a mask around here anyway.

and that is just that part.

The other part is:

If there is a mask policy at work, you can ask for a reasonable accommodation. We recommend that you make your request in writing. You must go through the interactive process with your employer, The “interactive process” means you and your employer need to work together to determine what accommodations will allow you to do your job safely and effectively.

Also forcing you to be there when you can work from home seems to me to violate the spirit of CDC guidelines. If you are an older worker, you are the one with the higher risk of complications from Covid.
