I saw another guy in a car, by himself, with a mask on today! There is no mask mandate here (southern New York, but not NYC). I was wearing a mask when sawing some wood the other day. I knew sawdust is not good to breathe in, so I wore the mask. I did feel comfortable wearing a mask in that situation. I think the media has convince tons of people that covid is a severe threat that can be minimized by wearing a mask, and they feel comfortable wearing a mask, regardless of the setting.
It might be a fear thingnfor some people and a way to help people cope with their fears. My wife understands the utility of the mask is probably all fake, especially after I showed her the article of vaccinated people on a cruise ship spreading covid despite being strict mask mandates. But she needs the mask to keep her feeling safe. She doesn't mind if I don't wear a mask. But it's for her own sanity until she can feel comfortable going around without a mask.

I saw an old man in a wheelchair on a hiking trail outside the city limits all alone wearing a mask, a bicycle helmet and an orange vest.
