Why are people wearing masks in their own cars?

My FIL is scared to death about contracting this virus. He wears his mask even in the house. You just have to shake your head and move on.

Just curious. Theories?

I do - when I have to go shopping it's normally two supermarkets: so I put the mask on before entering the first and take it off when I leave the second. I only have the one mask, and don't want to waste more (though Herself would give me them) so it gets shut in the boot until next time I shop. (Since the virus survives in paper for only two days apparently, it's safe to wear again next time.) Does try to fog up my glasses, but a tiny, tiny drop of washing up liquid wiped on and buffed off prevents that (I learned that one riding motorcycles - a misted up visor is not a lot of use, and the detergent removes the surface tension from the moisture, and it forms an even film instead of the droplets which fog the glass / plastic.)

The local bank is no longer providing services at the counter; you have to use the ATM. They showed my dad how to pay a bill with it last week. He had another one to pay a few days ago, so to make sure we wasn't gonna get stuck somewhere, he asked me to tag along with him. As he was using the ATM with me watching, some guy walked in behind us and commented that we (me and my dad) should stay 6 feet apart. I pointed out that we came from the same place, and had arrived there in the same car, and no matter where we sat in the car, there isn't 6 feet apart from any combination of seats. He still insisted that me and my dad should still have stayed further away from each other while we were there.

Lots of people haven't understood that the mask is not to protect themselves, but to protect other people. If you are not infected yourself, the mask is "essentially inessential". If you are infected, it helps to avoid that you do not spread the virus to others. Like if you were quarantined. We should be aware that you may be infected, and spread the virus, even if you have only very light symptoms. So if you suspect that you might possibly be infected, it might be a good idea to wear a mask, even at home to avoid being a virus fountain at home. My guess is that if you are living in the same household, the virus will unconditionally spread to all of you - masks or not.

Masks aren't there to protect the one who wears it. It is there to protect the public. Someone in a car is bound to exit it. So yes, makes sense to wear one while in a car.

Ya, there's a lot of hysteria around this thing. Just don't let hysteria rule your decision making. :doh:

Don't care any bit about your non argumented petty opinion. The mask helps with limiting the spreading, since a cough has not the same reach. It does not protect the wearer, since you can get it from touching stuff. It protects those around you by limiting your coughing distance. You agreeing or not does not change that in any way - and since you have no arguments, you agreeing is not even relevant.

It would be a far better world if some folks could just mind their own effing business.

:doh: Wearing the mask can help me from not getting it if someone sneezed near me. Didn't realize I needed to make such a simple argument. But there it is. Or, to strengthen the argument, if it can be transmitted via breathing, then it protects me from those breathing around me.

No, it won't; but it will help when you sneeze.

I never realized I'd be educating you without being paid for it.

You have the right to "believe" that, as you have the right to believe in God. I'm not explaining anything for free. :)
