Wearing a mask might be good advice but is it a smart law or government policy?
In the short term, yes. Even from a strictly "economic" perspective, having your constituents not wear a mask is far more detrimental to an economy than temporarily requiring them. You can't run a government if your constituents are all dead.
What's unfortunate is that A) some people seem to conflate inconvenience with oppression (and it's just... not) and B) even more people seem to have trouble grasping the nuance of safe mask-wearing protocol (as discussed, doing it wrong enough is actually worse than not wearing a mask at all).
