It takes about 15 seconds to retrieve the mail, OUTSIDE and another 5 seconds to get back in the car. Let's not get crazy about this.
No one is more of a proponent of mask wearing than I am. I have contributed countless posts and videos on this forum on the necessity of wearing masks INDOORS all the time. The only exception is when I'm seated in a restaurant or bar AWAY from others and am actively eating or drinking. If I can not be guaranteed of being seated away from others, I do not patronize that establishment. Since this pandemic started, I have NEVER sat at a dining table with anyone other than my husband, not even family. We called off the holidays in 2020. THAT is how strongly I feel that mask wearing is necessary, INDOORS.
As for OUTDOORS, I make sure I'm not close to anyone so always keep my distance of at least 10 feet and that includes the couple of times I have been to the squares to listen to music. Wearing a mask at the mail center???? Nah.

Dear Ms Nah.....that advice might be correct for the OLD variant of the pandemic virus. But, there is a new Virus Sheriff in town and it has 2 automatic firing sixguns, one on each hip - it is rapid firing highly transmissible virus-laden droplets at non-mask wearers.
Not a great time to let down your guard when you are just one more dose away from being highly protected from the pain and expense of intensive hospital care. Be safe, not sorry......say adios to the Virus Sheriff!
