What's silly, precisely? Seat belts are cool, so no, you're wrong.
Homemade masks (as opposed to N95) and handkerchiefs are only marginally effective against reducing transmission. Having a strong immune system is a scientifically proven way to reduce your health risk significantly.
What is silly is all the people who are content to do the absolute bare minimum, easiest possible thing to attempt to protect people's health: merely putting a piece of cloth on their face; while at the same time neglecting to put in the work to improve their overall health, and thus their risk to others of spreading the virus.
Because lack of those generally doesn't harm others.
And, you can be charged with things caused by lack of sleep--reckless driving, for instance.
However, there is a difference between fining someone for lack of compliance and jailing someone for lack of compliance. Jailing someone in the middle of a pandemic is stupid.
