Do you look both ways before you cross the street? If so, why? Are you giving into the fear that the driver of the car is going to hit you? How paranoid of you.

Do you turn the light on when you go to the bathroom in the evening? Why? Are you afraid the spiders will crawl on your legs if you try to sit down in the dark? Or are you afraid you won't remember where the toilet paper is, and has been, for the past 20 years you've been living there?

We do a lot of things simply because it's a good idea to be cautious. Not fearful. Just cautious. Mask-wearing is one of those things. You don't have to be afraid of getting sick, to respect caution in the face of a pandemic.
