I guess it's choose your poison. If wearing masks allows us to go out of our homes and go into some places of business, isn't that better than saying we all have to lock ourselves up completely until there are no more positive tests for COVID?

The best option would be to treat this like any other flu season, but unless we pass a law that says suing another individual or business for giving you COVID is punishable by execution then too many people will be too afraid to fully open up.

You would have to prove negligence on the part of the business owner or individual AND prove that the business or individual was the proximate cause of you contracting the flu ... very difficult to prove. THEN you need to have actual monetary damage to have a chance to collect anything. Taken together, not a tenable position (or a valid argument to support mandatory face-diaper wearing that does nothing to stop the virus germs.
