Safety standards should be decided by medical advice, not personal opinion.
 

Mask use has been recommended across the board by the CDC and the WHO. Mandatory mask use in public and work spaces is proven to limit the spread of Covid-19. When it is an issue of public health and safety, personal opinions should have significantly less weight than up to date health recommendations. The goal of keeping the public safe from a communicable disease should be an apolitical issue.
