Why is wearing a mask in a car idiotic?
It's strange that the supposed supporters of liberty have jumped on this specific topic the past few weeks with memes and constant posts attempting to shame others when the act of wearing a mask in a vehicle has nothing to do with anyone else's rights. I mean there are so many real topics of civil liberties available yet the extreme right wants to attract someone's choice. Hypocrisy runs deep on both sides.
I've seen people in Home Depot and Lowes wearing masks for years. Often they appear to be workers dealing with construction or industrial cleaning who stopped in to grab supplies in the middle of a job. I would imagine that they don't want to touch their face since the mask is protecting them from something harmful in their environment for which they haven't performed adequate self-cleaning yet. I'd also imagine the same logic applies to people who have handled items in public that could carry a virus without having adequately sanitized their hands. Many people are considered at higher risk or live with others who are so it's important to not get infected.
There's also people who have been wearing masks while out for years because they don't want pollen to cause sneezing and coughing all day.
Obviously, the suggestion of wearing masks to mitigate the spread of coronavirus in these times (I hate hearing this phrase, but I'll use it) has brought more attention and awareness to others, but why does it bother so many people who should just worry about themselves?
Sorry, just had to vent on this topic when it's way more important to focus on why there's an agenda to drag this out longer than necessary as well as why some people are hopeful for rushed unproven vaccines yet fear established and understood meds that seem to help.
