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.

Others have made a decision to be extremely cautious, do everything to minimize the spread, help out healthcare network and help others. Unfortunately, you have not. Hope you are not a Villager. Nice first post under this name.
