If somebody isn't wearing a mask, that other person has assumed the risk to themselves. Maybe you don't trust that your mask will not protect you yourself against non-mask wearers? Similar to mask wearing people standing 6 feet away from each other.

People talk all the time about doctors and nurses wearing masks in hospitals, and during surgery. Do they put masks on their patients? Do they stand 6 feet away from their unmasked patients, including during surgery?
