Absolutely. All the ugly people should continue wearing masks all the time. It is for the good of society.
2 points:
1) Yeah I'm one of those people that you'll sometimes see wearing a mask alone while driving. If you do, it means that I put it on when I went into the grocery store and didn't think to take it off for the drive home. Turns out they don't make it harder to breathe and unless you have bad oral hygiene it's pretty easy to not be bothered by having it on.
2) When everyone's back at the office, it would be great if it became customary (as in other parts of the world) that if you have a cold/cough/sniffles but still come into work, that you wear a mask as a courtesy to your coworkers. Every office has that habitual cougher/sneezer that no one wants to sit near.

I think you like wearing it [in your car alone] because it feels cosy on your face. Awwww.
I got to say this Covid thing has been pretty good to me. Not only did I make some good money, I never even got as much as a cold since December 2019. Personally, I don't give a shit about masks-wear whatever you want or don't- just leave me the fuck out of your madness.
Aside from losing the weekly nerd gathering it really hasn't had a downside. Not eating out, lost almost 20 pounds. Would of been more but I started on the take out.
I've never looked better with the mug covered up. Girls seem to look better also.
Wish I could of gone to the gym but can't have everything. Wish I could have gotten things in gear with my home setup but working from home sucks balls.
Skipped my yearly cold. I hate those things.
I think next fall I might just mask up for the cold and flu season. Except for the gym which would probably be the highest risk place for me.
I agree that 90% of Canadians would look better with a bag over their heads (probably I am one of them), but none the less, we need continuous exposure to the billions of petty viruses that surround us in order to keep our immune systems in tune. So I will ditch the mask as soon as the population quits freaking out 24/7. (This is chicken-shit, United Empire Loyalist Canada, so that could take some time). The other aspect of masks that greatly bothers me is the fact that people throw them everywhere. I live in a rural area and the woods and trails around me are littered with these things. The eventually find their way into the streams and lakes of this area, and later into the sea. There are already many millions of them in the ocean eventually to become part of the great plastic island in the Pacific. (I wear a cotton bandana, made in that paradise of environmental responsibility, Communist China). Anyway, that's my two cents.
Back in the day before covid in any lineup the person behind me would always be too close. As if the line would move faster if they were closer to me. I could never understand why people needed to line up that close to each other.
