She's got the wrong end of the stick. You should tell her they are to
protect the rest of the world from the wearer, not the other way
round. Then it becomes clear.

It's amazing how many people still don't 'get' this simple fact
(including some of the scientific 'experts' who are advising the
government).

Not a good precedent for people who claim the public have sufficient
common sense to decide whether it's sensible to drive 100 miles to take
the dog for a walk.
