And unless you are outfitted with lab mask, masks don’t work. They just let the particles through in a spread out pattern. And loose fitting ones turn the tiny openings where the mask doesn’t fit tight into air jets; sending exhaled vapors farther, usually up, so the microscopic particles have farther to fall. I saw a fellow walking to his car a couple of days ago, removing his glasses because they were fogged up.
And people wearing them, alone in their cars; give me a break....
Adults who wear masks are either ignorant or thieves.
When this happens to me, I remove the mask, not the glasses.
Here in the South Bay / Peninsula (San Francisco) area, people are insane about masks. They have them on everywhere — beach, hiking trails, parks, city streets, in their cars, on the front porch, walking the dog. If there is a stiff breeze delivering fresh air, they still wear them. They act like the air is filled with poison gas they cannot see and that mask is protecting them and others. People move 25 feet or more away from me when I’m on the trails or streets without a mask.
The lack of basic common sense is absolutely astonishing. I think going through life like that for a full year now is far worse than contracting the disease. The mental scars are going to take a long time to fade away.
