No test, No mask, no vaccine and I’m still breathing. WHO knew one could survive this virus so easily and peacefully? Just a critical thinker.

You absolutely do have a choice. You can change jobs. You can move. Everyone has a choice.
I choose to live where masks aren't strictly required. So I go to the grocery store, eat out at restaurants, and go to the doctor's office, all without ever wearing a mask. There is one store and one restaurant that wouldn't let me in. I told them that they'll never see me again. They will eventually go out of business.
Picking up and moving is easier said than done. I'd rather have to wear a mask and keep my current job than to send my son to a center where he'd be required to wear one. He doesn't have to wear one where we are right now as his school is virtual.
It doesn't matter whether it's easy or not. You still have the choice. If you moved to where I am, your son wouldn't have to wear a mask. There are some states that don't require masks for anyone at all.
It takes money to move. You don't know ppls situations and what they are risking.
Also, divorced with kids in blue states? Ppl often have a "can't move out of state without other parent's permission" clause, risking loss of custody to a toxic parent. Only a toxic parent would push that issue in this climate.
Tons of things that keep one stuck in their draconian state.
You still have choices. A single person can chuck it all and hitchhike, which would cost zero. You had a choice about who to marry. You have a choice about keeping kids or not, whether you like that choice or not. We were created with free will.
I chose where I live many years ago, and I'm not better off financially. But it's a good place with a network of friends to rely on, and relatives who don't live that far away. I spent a long time moving, as I was moving a mini-van full between locations on a two-hour drive each way. (I was having to make the trips anyway.) I only had to hire a truck to move the last few heavy items.
I don't know your situation, but just consider your options.
I'm actually in a fairly good situation. My point is that the cost of moving may be, for some, higher than staying and wearing a mask sometimes.
As far choosing who to marry-- many a man (or woman) discovers they married a sociopath and live in a state that DOES NOT CARE.
That's why I referenced that particular scenario. Worked with many clients whose partners exploited the system to deliver more abuse.
