I don't wear a mask at all. No, it's not because I disregard others. It's because I fail to see the real need. The virus is spread by touching contaminated surfaces and then your eyes, mouth or nose. I am careful about that. Or it is spread by coughing on someone or very close, in your face contact. I believe that distancing beyond that is plenty. The whole mask thing seems like overkill to me. I realize that there are people who feel safer that way or more responsible, but I think it is their personal choice more than of any real need. I especially think people wearing masks in their cars or outside walking is totally unnecessary. To me it is my own common sense choice. I believe that realistic information is the best guideline. I realize there are lots of different opinions out there, but this is mine.
