Quarantines as considered by the founders were far harsher than the mask mandates we have now. This all seems like just-so logic to me.

Again, it doesn’t matter how harsh the quarantine, what matters is that a quarantine is a limited-time restriction. (Etymologically, the word "quarantine" originally referred to a period of 40 days.) Meanwhile, this thread of the discussion is about the idea of states imposing mask laws forever, even after the COVID emergency has passed.
