the part about this that I find terrifying is how you've somehow turned people who aren't afraid of the virus and/or don't want to wear a mask into selfish killers.
the truth and irony here is YOU ARE being selfish by expecting someone else to adhere to YOUR idea of health and safety protocols.
Maybe I think breathing in Co2 all day is detrimental to my health and safety?
why does your fear and concern over this virus now over ride my ability to make my own choices for my own health?
if you're so concerned, then you can wear the mask and protect yourself.
Why are you projecting your views and beliefs onto someone else?
so while you think you need to white knight the entire public for the 'greater good' because your scientists over at the CDC told you the 'truth' -- other people may not share your beliefs as truth and that used to be OK in America. We start treading into some sketchy territory when we start forcing beliefs and ideals down one anothers throats...

Ideas have merit. Some ideas are better than others. My idea of health and safety protocols is objectively better than yours because it is backed by
evidence. I'm not sure what the CO2 comment is about or if you have any background in physiology but we literally breathe CO2 in and out all day every day, it's in our blood, our blood is buffered, and we have homeostatic mechanisms to regulate the CO2 we breathe far in excess even of what you erroneously think is being trapped by a mask. Unless you are literally hitting your VO2 max walking up stairs, in which case you shouldn't even be leaving your house with a pandemic respiratory disease about, masks have no effect on your respiration. Masks do far more to protect other people than they do to protect the wearer, which is why it is so important everyone wears one to decrease the aggregate infectiousness of the virus.
You signed away some small part of your ability to make your own choices when you were born into a social contract with everyone else in society; it's the same contract that says you can't drive drunk or shit in the water supply when the rest of society decides they don't want that, or why people in general expect other people to wash their hands after they take a shit.

0% chance if I got it that it'd killed me or most people.
Odds are I had it and experienced no symptoms, again like most people (99.94%).
Quaruntine the elderly and those with serious health issues, absolutely, but this shit is 10x over.
We need serious class action lawsuits and licenses revoked over falsely reporting this stuff.

You're misinformed; best evidence is currently about 35% asymptomatic with fatality rate .4% among people with symptoms. Stop spreading lies.
