By using sunscreen I am not submitting to ideologues, I am simply trying to lessen my exposure. It has nothing to do with fear or panic. It is simply taking a precautionary measure, like looking both ways before crossing the street. Getting hit crossing the street ruins the day for the one hit, the one that hit him/her as well as the ones that have to clean up the mess.
Stay well and safe.
IMO, many posters who advocate that everyone should wear a mask are missing the point. The mask protects the wearer, no one else. Therefore if you are out and about and wearing a mask and you encounter a non mask wearer and that individual coughs or sneezes within your level of comfort distance the mask you are wearing will better protect you the wearer from possible infection. So those who advocate wearing a mask should wear one but should stop thinking that everyone wearing a mask will reduce the chance of getting an infection of any type
