I would be fine with making quality masks available to the more vulnerable. I do not think that it is realistic to think that others can make being in crowded venues safe for them. Even if you gave everyone N95 masks, some would not wear them, some would improperly wear them, some would improperly care for them, some would wear damaged/torn masks....
Bottom line is, if you are highly susceptible to severe complications from respiratory viruses, you probably should be avoiding crowded venues, restaurants, gyms if the risks of becoming sick are not worth it to you. Some in the high risk category might make different decisions than you do and that is their choice to make.
