    In Quebec, it is illegal to fail to render aid to someone whose life requires it. Doesn’t that give people an obligation to wear a mask?

    By that argument we would be legally obligated to murder all bees and ban peanut butter, since some people are deadly allergic to them. We don’t want to be responsible for their death, do we?

      No, but you would be legally obligated to avoid and disclose any possible cross contamination from allergens (like we already do)

        Then it logically would be sufficient to disclose that you are not wearing a mask, which we already do (visually).

      This is a terrible strawman argument. Go away.

        How so? I sincerely don’t see how it can be argued that Jane Public deciding not to wear a mask these days could be construed as “not rendering aid”. It’s a massive stretch.
