True but when employers start mandating things for employee safety then the government starts getting involved. When my employer went over their mask policies they started quoting OSHA standards for masks, which suggests they're treating this as an occupational hazard. And if OSHA gets involved there doesn't have to be "critical thinking capacity", just a bureaucrat asking questions like "did you follow company policies regarding PPE?" "Did your employer tell you you could remove your PPE when the hazard still existed?" And so on.
