Do you think that stop signs infringe on your freedom and that it’s OK to run them?

In the case of the stop sign, you could be charged with manslaughter. By trying to maintain your regular activities and ignoring the guidance to cover your face to stop your germs from being sprayed on others, your are being reckless and are endangering others’ lives. You might not be convicted of reckless endangerment, but if someone dies because of your selfishness you HAVE committed manslaughter and are just as guilty as someone who ignores stop signs.
I agree with you...

unfortunately the logic in what you're saying will go way over the heads of the very people that really need to stop, listen and get with the program
