Why can’t we all just wear masks and glasses?

We’re going through economic problems but it’s not like this recession is natural a metaphorical economic bubble didn’t burst it’s caused by how we’re dealing with the virus and cutting off non-essential jobs. I don’t really see why we can’t just distribute masks and some sort of safety glasses and then open everything up 

and put all the future canceled events back on the calendar and tell everyone to go back to normal and pretend like the virus isn’t even here. Seems like that would be a lot cheaper then what we’re doing now. And if you’d argue that we can’t because not everyone will wear them then I say oh well to bad for them they’re only hurting themselves they’re not hurting people who are actually protecting themselves. It’s not a matter of not having money to distribute them to everyone either because again doing that is a lot cheaper then causing a recession completely out of mismanagement.
