If I disagree on all three reasons being good I guess I can throw a fit and do them anyway. I want to drive drunk with a nuke and a mullet. I think you are talking about when you agree there is a good reason rather than when there is actually good reason. That is an important distinction.
You may think it is good reason, virtually every expert in the field may find it's good reason but since I don't I get to throw the fit and do what I want. As a matter of fact I'm going to harass everyone who isn't driving drunk with a mullet and nuke. I'm not a child and can make these decisions on my own. The folks scared of any of these should stay away from me.
It's not enough that virtually every expert finds drunk driving and personal possession of nukes to be a problem. It's got to be the right experts. The ones that agree with me. As long as I can find a small vocal group to disagree then there isn't agreement and I can do what I want.
Sarcasm aside who decides good reason is important. In this instance pretty much the whole world is in agreement, including our President, Congress and the majority of local governments. It's a pretty small vocal group that isn't/wasn't.

It's not as simple as me not agreeing. It's the implementation.
You can't open up a wholesale nursery, but you can open up the home depot.
Walking on the beach is (was) verboten, but walking down the aisle at Target is OK.
Billy Bobs BBQ in East Boondock is a restaurant and therefore can't open until Snob-City Grill in downtown Manhattan is allowed to open.
A drive in theater isn't "essential" so it's closed.
I'm not a rabble rouser. I don't attend protests. I do call my elected officials (No, Liz Warren has NOT responded to my call nor my 3 emails). But most importantly, I don't "just accept" what is spoon fed by the governor if it doesn't make sense. This isn't rocket science. it's not even infectious disease transmission. It's a power grab in the name of safety. It's random and arbitrary and poorly defined. It's debilitating. To individuals and the economy. And the best part? I doesn't even save lives. Not when anyone named Walmart can remain open just because they sell day old bread along with their flat screens.
It's a fuquing joke, and you of all people should recognize that. Going along to get along is dangerous. And it's creating animosity with the natives.
People that lash out against something as simple as masks are doing so because the rules make zero sense.
It's like finding a fake Cuban cigar at a shop in Mexico. If one is fake, what do you assume about the others?
The government is saying: "you're safe at the Piggly Wiggly, but in danger at the beach". Oh, and wear your mask.
Stop. Just stop.
