AU Contraire my dear, if you were taking good care of yourself you would be wearing a mask. Many supposedly healthy people have gotten the disease. Tom Hanks and his wife had it way back. Now he is not releasing his new movie to theatres but will put it out streaming. He always looked in good shape to me.
If you hear that a Villager went after someone for not wearing a mask, it may well be me. I have surgery scheduled on 6/28 and do not want to be getting sick before that.
I wear a mask inside public places. However, if what other people do bother someone, they should not be around those people. You CANNOT mandate that others conform to YOUR standards, period. It's kind of like charity. If you confiscate someone's property to give to other "deserving" individuals, then it is NOT charity. You cannot force someone to wear a mask if they do not wish to. Better to just stay home if it bothers you.
