How about the death sentence if there is sufficient proof that your failure and refusal to wear a mask had caused the death of someone else? Sound good?

A little extreme, perhaps.

This isn't cold-blooded premeditated murder in the first degree. It's more a case of manslaughter or even as low as criminal negligence causing death.

It is the result of stupidity, not malice.

Ten or twenty years would suffice.

Sure, I was not trying to get into some of the technicals, but I was trying to make the point about taking responsibility for your actions that cAPSLOCK seemed to be arguing that he would be willing to take responsibility for his actions, while he seemed to be limiting his liability to some kind of monetary fine or whatever the "not wearing a mask" violations are currently requiring for punishments. I would imagine that a lot of places, if we get into legal enforcement, they are likely warning people first before attempting stricter punishments.

Otherwise, I would agree with you in regard to the level of intent that would likely need to be assessed for anyone to receive the death penalty, including sometimes the level of maliciousness.. even though death penalty varies from country to country, and some places are even opposed to the death penalty too... so sure, I was exaggerating a bit with my hypothetical.
