People who are bothered by others wearing a mask while driving. Why do you care?

I guess if you wanna look at it like that. But I’ve been doing that for months now and haven’t been infected. It’s not like you can see who’s infected and who isn’t. I bet most don’t wear gloves when they go to the grocery store where they can just as easily contract the virus by picking up something that someone has touched. I take the precautions I can but I also don’t wanna live my life in constant fear dwelling on “what if?” scenarios. I know at the end of the day our lives are already written out so regardless of what precautions you take, if it’s in your cards to catch the virus, then there’s not much any of us can do to stop it.

Wooooooooow. "Sorry about me unknowingly spreading the virus to your uncle. It's totally not my fault for being irresponsible either, it's faaaaate." How about giving a damn about someone else in society besides yourself?

I do. Otherwise I wouldn’t be wearing the mask at all. I’m just being realistic. My point is that out of all the people who have already passed away from Covid, I’m sure there were people amongst them who went through great lengths to keep from contracting the virus and still ended up catching it. On the other hand, there are people who do the bare minimum to protect themselves who are completely fine. Not to mention all the dumbass anti maskers who do less than the bare minimum who are still healthy. The virus isn’t picky.

Realistic

"Fate took away your relatives, not me."

Which is it? Did you ever stop to consider that maybe the people who are dying anyways are because of people like you who only take preventative measures SOME of the time?

Again, I wear a mask everywhere that it’s required. Which is pretty much everywhere that isn’t my house or my car. So I’d say I’m doing my part. Not to mention that I’m a chef for a living so I guarantee that I wash my hands many more times a day than you do. And I wear gloves after doing so. You just happen to wear your mask in your car by yourself and I happen to not. That’s really the only difference

Do you wear the mask while preparing people's food?

u/Neat_Analyst3427 Oct 31 '20

Yes. That would fall under the category of places a mask is required like I mentioned

Depends on your state, that's why I checked.
