Haha complete buffoon? Why does it bug you so much? Who cares?
I don't have a car, but I wouldn't wear one solo inside one either. Although I know ride share drivers are required to wear one, but I'm sure they're fine if they don't have a passenger.
We're on the same page here, by the way. I don't think it's necessary to wear one hiking but it wouldn't bug me if people do.

He’s crazy, which probably happened because he wants to run NYC and New York State.
He’s also already worked at the federal level, he was a cabinet member (HUD) for Clinton in the 1990s. He has a ton of experience and he wants to be king of the world. It’s logical to be afraid of him.
But as for damage, I don’t know. Along with the ego is a confidence in doing not only things that people like but what they need. He has consistently delivered big infrastructure projects.
This is exactly the attitude I have about it as well. Wear a mask when around others, but not when alone or outside.

You want me to prove that, other than maybe a few days to a week, NYC hospitals were overrun? I'd just point you to Google man. This isn't controversial or a challenged fact. They had a spike and were otherwise fine, as it pertains to hospital space.
There's way more attention being paid to what could potentially happen to the elderly or to someone who is already compromised, and not nearly enough attention to what is being done to our kids who aren't experiencing life and the development that comes from that.

This is pretty much what I do, but I bought a neck gaiter that can be pulled up because it's not as hot.
This is actually outdated information.
Most now agree it is transmitted via aerosol rather than droplets, as previously thought. The mask you wear doesn't help you much at all. But it does help everyone else.
"Lemonade requires a significant amount of sugar. Otherwise, you've just made lemon juice."
Unfortunately, empathy, which is needed in order to make the best decision about mask wearing, is in desperately short supply in America these days.

Thanks for the update. From the beginning I assumed wearing a mask was to protect others, not myself. I assume that if this virus is transmitted via aerosol, wearing a mask while around people, even outside, is more important.

It seems Sweden is catching up with Europe. So much for that discussion over why Sweden was so special.

The biggest story that no one can account for is why countries with supposed hard lockdowns and “obedient” populations are seeing a resurgence. Most of the press is saying it’s because of lack of contact tracing. At least that’s the theory currently on offer for explaining why basically every European nation—hard and soft approach—is bouncing back badly. The lone exception seems to be Germany for now.
I'll take that as a no.
Another study that shows flying is really safe, much safer than you’d think. And, please don’t think I’m just throwing these airplane articles out there for funzies. My wife is a flight attendant and a lot of our friends are flight attendants and pilots. We take this very seriously and we’re very encouraged to hear it’s pretty safe to fly.

Are 8 states being overwhelmed enough for you?
