"It's just a mask."
No, it's not. In the context of medical mandates, it's a medical device, and it's being forcefully prescribed by politicians; you're being coerced to use this medical device as if government employees have a right to make medical decisions for you, as if you were their livestock, on their farm. A more honest and accurate statement by those pushing and supporting medical mandates would be: "If you don't submit to the medical tyranny of pre-emptive attack against your bodily autonomy, which pre-supposes the intellectual and ethical superiority of officials and their right to treat you as their livestock, then you're selfish, and should be subject to further violence in the form of fines and possible arrest (which if you resist you can be killed, and that's okay too); they are making the world a better, safer place, so just obey and shut up."
There is a clear right & wrong with this issue, and it's this: Controlling a nonviolent person's body is an act of aggression; your body does not become the property of the State whenever there is a sickness in the world.
People that yell at, stare/scowl at, video without permission, exclude from store entry, etc., someone just for not wearing a mask, are following a false morality, they're being aggressive toward someone who could only *possibly* and unintentionally harm someone else. The real aggression of medical mandates needs to be rejected, otherwise the State will likely push even more travel restrictions, bodily violation (e.g., toxic vaccines), control of private businesses (putting them out of business), charging people fines etc., making our lives even more controlled by untrustworthy people we are "mandated" to trust, always in the name of safety; remember, if you're being abused, you're not safe, even if you don't have the flu because of that abuse.
The nonsense-backed tyranny passing as "reasonable precaution" is fundamentally saying it's okay to commit actual violence against someone by controlling their bodies against their will (e.g., mandatory masks) in order to prevent possible harm, it's saying real violence now is fine if it *might* prevent harm, it's saying being abusively controlled is okay if it reduces risk of illness being spread in the world; by that premise the government could seal everyone up in prison cells for "safety," as if being abusively controlled is a condition of safety (of course it's not).

Preemptive attack is never legitimate, it's just aggression, which is always evil. This is what people should be pointing out, not the latest numbers; the number of supposed cases is irrelevant to the core ethics of it.

"How is the mask mandate communist?" you may have been wondering. The reason it's communism in action is because communism is defined as the end of private property, all that was previously owned by individuals is now owned by the State, and what is fundamentally more your property than your own body. Mask mandate operates on the unsaid subliminal premise that the State owns your body, because a main part of property rights is the ability to control your property; so if you can't control your body, but the State can, then who owns it? We are all now being attacked, yet we are to believe that we are now safer while under this daily attack?
We are essentially being told that we have to trust whatever numbers and "science" they put out are accurate, now and forever, trust that it's impossible that it's a deception in any way, trust that whatever medical treatment they deem necessary (masks today, who knows what tomorrow) is safe and effective... They want you to accept that the State is essentially your doctor and owns your body and the bodies of your children. State officials are not your doctor, and preventative health care medical choices should always be the choice of the individual.
If you think mask-wearing, distancing, etc., is a good idea at this time, that's fine, again the issue is it being a mandate. If you believe officials are saints that are never mistaken or deceptive, then you can go on obeying their every order for the rest of your life, submitting to slavery, but don't expect others to do the same.
Thankfully atheist statism is not everyone's worldview, many people are still clear-headed enough to recgonize the true moral authority of Jesus and his greatest commandments, and they have an inalienable right to do just that.
