What's with the driving with masks phenomenon?

Following the party line makes YOU more informed?

Or maybe the driver in the mask is trying to protect you because they suspect they are infected?

At any rate, this is not a "charger" topic! please give us this one small spot to escape this crap.

Erm...this is the "Off Topic" section!

There won't be a vaccine for years, if ever.  Staying locked down until then was never an option.



The only serious conversation to have (along those lines) would be staying locked down until they find a treatment (an existing drug or combo) that helps infected people fight off the virus and recover.  

But even that idea sounded better two months ago.  At the time we hoped a drug would already be found by now.  And we feared the outbreak might get worse than it has.    

Absent a vaccine, we need to do more testing and contact tracing.  I think doing so would facilitate targeted isolation and a loosening of restrictions.  Also, "flattening the curve" helps to keep our hospitals and healthcare workers from being overwhelmed.

Even basic masks will help control large-particle droplets, sprays, and splatters that may contain the virus.  I still don't wear one in the car though.

I'm having a really hard time with trying to accept #5 can we leave that out or would that be mandatory?

Another.
