Is indirect harm okay? A lot of anti-maskers can't seem to grasp the concept that they aren't just putting their own lives at risk. The infection and death rates show how much damage this mentality can have on a country.

In a broad sense indirect harm is OK. There are many activities that result in indirect harm. The argument about which should be banned should focus on the amount of harm and the degree of restriction required to be placed upon people's freedoms to reduce the harm.
