Why are people wearing masks in their own cars?
-
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.

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

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.

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.

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

Same reasons as the flu. Do your own research, or pay me. Good luck, you'll need it if you didn't see this coming.

From the direct contact / landing of the "big" drops in your face yes (that is why we should wear glasses too).

Not really, Cotton / vlies / many materials are not that dense to block the tiny particles flying around. And neither are they protecting you of the vaccuum effect when you breath in if the particles are in suspension around the limits of the mask. In other words... they help to protect you, yes. But they don't protect you.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Once again you have gotten me. I fell for it. I actually thought you knew what you were talking about. It's amazing that masks are one way protectors. :laugh:

Then they won't protect other people if you're wearing one and you sneeze.

I agree with you. If it doesn't protect the wearer, why then do the doctors and nurses wear it in the hospital?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
