        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.

          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.

          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.

                    That’s just a little over the top - we all know whose fault it really is!

                                  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.

                                      I saw a neighbour yesterday wearing one just to come out of the house, get something out of the car, and go back inside.

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

                                          Bandits. The lack of regular traffic on the roads makes the bandits more obvious...
