Find it hard to buy the personal liberty argument re refusing to wear a facemask given that the liberty being infringed is your liberty to infect other people with a potentially fatal disease, which surely has an impact on their own liberty, and indeed mortality.
Which is of course a matter of degree - we don't wear masks during flu season, after all - but in this instance the balance seems fairly appropriate?
(Thinking particularly of the liberty of elderly people stuck at home who might quite like to leave the house and go to the shops at some point.)
