In any illnesses people's reactions vary depending on many factors, their health history, environment, how they take care of themselves, and so forth. Some people can fight off viruses easier than others. Some catch more colds and others barely have any throughout their lives. COVID isn't special in these regards. Risks for any illness depends on a lot of factors. Unless I'm reading you wrong, I'm sure you know this?

Really? This is a serious issue. I've seen the whining children who are asked to wear masks before entering a store for a simple trip to the grocery store.
You have to see these children crying their eyes out and braying like donkey's because for a mere 30 minutes or less they have to have their mouth and nose covered.
It's devastating. The horror of the worst of mandated ......demands.
Covering the face of these children who know nothing. The tears of a six foot child will break your heart.
edit: Actually wearing a mask can be a health issue for some and I've read of PTSD issue for others. That accounts for less than about one percent, on my guess, of the issue. For the rest of you.....grow the **** up.

Another poster here on RF posted this. Wish I could claim it as my own:
----"Here, put this mask on. It'll help stop the spread of the covid 19 virus"
"But I heard that a mask won't prevent me from catching it"
----"The mask isn't to protect you, it's to keep you from spreading it to other people"
"Other people? What are 'other people' "
---"Better yet, let's just tie this tourniquet around your throat".
"Will that help"?
---"Couldn't hurt".

and I have seen report....
if you go to the hospital and die
and you happen to have the virus
they chalk you up as a number
car accident?....virus
heart attack?....virus
colon cancer?...virus
etc etc etc
the numbers are skewed
no one really knows
except of course.....your turn is coming
all around me.....including stores that still have 'watchers' at the door
and the place where I work
no one speaks up
no one is insisting
the masks are coming off

With the right beat, you could turn this into a decent hip hop single.
Although, I suppose your most likely target audience wouldn't really appreciate hip hop...

Survivors greatly increased by people wearing a mask for such a simple inconvenience.

not contracting the virus doesn't make you a survivor

So you reiterate.....what of underlying conditions?
This particular coronavirus can be dormant in an infected person who is asymptomatic. But they can still pass on this particular virus. What we know now is that it doesn't spread among surfaces but through airborne contact.
Thus wearing a mask, which is somehow so inconvenient for you to wear for the short period of time it takes for you to conduct your business, you would rather condemn people because your are put off by wearing a mask for a short period of time.
