That's what I do. Why would I wear a mask to/from a vehicle when I am not within 6ft feet of anyone?

But this isn't about you. This is about protecting others. Wearing a mask or two makes you a hero because you are saving lives. If people stopped being selfish and just followed the rules we would have eliminated this virus months ago.

If this isn't about you, why do you expect others to protect you? Isn't that just as selfish?

Many of those calling people selfish for not wearing masks are the same ones lying to get the vaccine ahead of others...also selfish.

The theory of if we followed the rules the virus would have been eliminated by now is purely an assumption.

If Covid is so deadly, pro masks wearing folks should be happy about those not wearing masks so they die off and can live in their utopia of like minded people. A society of obedient people living in a bubble that don't think for themselves anymore.

That's a very altruistic idea you have there but I didn't witness much of that when people were practically crawling over others to get the last 4 pack of toilet paper on the shelf. Selflessness? Protecting others? While there are still some out there doing it, it's not a common behavior nowadays. It's every man (and woman) for them self.

Of course, those who think they know everything will want to force the rest to conform to their way of thinking because it's fear that drives them. There are a few on this site who are exactly that way.

Your mask hasn't saved one single life. You are delusional, but knowing that people like you exist makes me feel better about myself. So thank you.

Unapologetically selfish here..... deal with it. Anybody who actually has such a huge ego that they need to see themself as a hero is seriously twisted.

Nothing wrong with that. My question is when did the government assume the ability to mandate "selfishness" and who gets to define that? If people like Kristina's Cap are or become the ones in charge, the country is lost.

The stupidity is astounding. And a 59 year career politician has saved us.

Just keep wearing your masks pal.

FYI, not everyone is concerned with getting Covid. He got it, got over it and moved on with life like most everyone else experiences.
