A few years ago, 80% of people who wore a mask. Which way are these things trending? Wearing a seatbelt has become the normal attitude towards car risk. Wearing a mask was briefly the normal attitude towards risk, but has since become [again] an abnormal attitude towards risk.

If you're so keen to be abnormally safe and think everybody else is being unreasonable, why don't you get your three-point seatbelt replaced with a five-point harness? It's established well characterized technology that undeniably makes you safer You'll definitely be an odd man out rejecting social trends so expect to have people wonder why you're so paranoid. But by your logic you shouldn't care about that.

I don't understand what point you are trying to make. Are people with masks hurting you in some way?

they are making the people that want to pretend the virus is just something you have to live with instead of taking precautionary measures feel bad.

Oh, thanks! I will now straighten my shoulders and walk with pride, knowing I am repressing some busybodies who want to butt into my business.

Who said they're hurting me? People who live in fear are hurting themselves. I don't care, except in the case of my friend. I don't like to see my friend hurt himself, is that so radical? Radical to you maybe.

I think you have to understand that to your friend and a large number of people wearing a mask isn't hurting him.
