Each year about 45-50% of the population get flu shots and we still have a high number of deaths. But that number is an estimate from the CDC, COVID 19 is a real count (probably low since people that die at home aren't tested if they had another condition like a heart problem).
Also the number of flu deaths are over the full year, so far we have over 100,000 in about 3 months.
If you don't want to wear a mask, then I can only guess that you are being selfish or foolish. Wearing a mask DOES help (maybe not 100%, but it's better than nothing). It keeps most of the moisture from your mouth getting into the air.
Now, you may think that you don't have the virus, but it has been shown that many people that have the virus carried it for several days. They may have it without symptoms and never get sick or have a mild version of it.
So the mask is not to protect you (I'll do that by wearing my mask), it's to protect those that may die if they get the virus.
