The reason to wear a mask is to protect others as much as to protect yourself. How is that unreasonable?
It may not seem "unreasonable" to you, but maybe some of us do not wish to wear the mask all the time when the possibility of being in the same area as an infected is so minute. Wear one if you wish but do not mandate that I wear one just to make you feel better. Like others have said, either wear one or go your own way but do not tell us that we are not being reasonable because you do not "feel" safe. Of course, I never thought that the gov should mandate seatbelts either. That's my opinion. To summarize, wear your mask to "feel" safe if you wish.
