The reckless endangerment is not limited to those who have symptoms or those who know they are infected.
Where does the 99% chance that they are not infected and contagious come from?
As for your quote about the meaning of the word life, why not finish it from your source instead of taking it out of context?
"That said, government sources takes many actions that impact the full exercise of individuals’ quality of life, including through the use of policies to affect poverty levels, health care, physical security, and individual dignity.
Here are some current events and philosophical outlooks about the path that governments must tread in order to provide individuals the greatest opportunity and probability of exercising their most natural right — existence."

Until we can
all be tested daily on the cheap via home test without it needing to be sent out or need to go anywhere to do the test, including folks without health insurance and the unemployed, we deal with the undisputed (unless one is total idiot) fact that there are asymptomatic carriers who are also transmitters.
The number of those Typhoid Marys may be high, or they may be low.
I could test negative today, pick it up tomorrow, not know it, and spread it, and there lies the problem, unless I can test. Add to that the incubation period where I may have it, but not test positive for it depending on how far it is through my system and that's just for being asymptomatic. We have two people in our house who leave to go to work. One is two days per week, the other is five.
As for the masks, for them to be effective, they need to be worn properly by all and they also need to be multi-layered and properly fitting, not single layer novelty masks. I was in the supermarket a couple of weeks ago and a customer was wearing a cheap mask with nose clearly sticking out while in the store, but in the outer lobby, technically still inside the store on the way out, he pulled it off even though people were clearly nearby.
We are at the point now where shopping carts are not always cleaned between customers, depending on the store and even then it's just the handles, so it's up to us individually to make sure things are sanitized before using anything in public.
Yes, people are tired of this, but until there is a vaccine AND a large percentage of people take it, also keeping good habits the whole time until there is a successful vaccine implemented (which are two other discussions), we will be at this for a while.
I see the drop in good habits and more people walking around without their noses covered by the masks as a clear "statement".
Ignorance and misplaced attitudes by those and their silent statement like that are not helping.
I see immediate neighbors next door and across the street having large 10+ gatherings with no distancing and no masks ( limit in a home in NJ is currently 25) , while they kept the good habits back in April, but have since dropped them.
Those folks, I am reasonably sure, go to other similar gatherings which I don't see.
It's going to be a long while more without all those things in place.
