I’m in France at present, and the paranoia is rife. Measures are one thing, but some of this?

I’m in a hotel in Marseille. There are only aircrew here; Ethiopian, some DHL, and us. I think less than a dozen, all in. Yesterday was a wonderful, calm, sunny day. Edging into the twenties, Celsius. The hotel is deserted, and regulations say we are confined to our rooms, except to go to work, come back from work, to visit reception to order food, or to venture out within 1km, for exercise, alone. Enforceable by police presence.

Your situation remind me a bit with the Egyptian uprising except we could travel at our own risk and not some unseen virus going to get ya, just a bomb, Iwas in egypt with family in 2012 it was very quiet no tourist, great actually

but to stop them spreading it if they happen to be infected

consequently, wearing a mask says 'i am being careful not to spread it, if i happen to have it'
and not wearing a mask says 'idgaf, suck my virus'

So what does wearing a mask while driving alone in one's car say? I've been trying to figure this bit out for months.

I want to die fucking, falling off a cliff , driving to fast, in a plane crash going on holiday, not catching some virus at the shop.
Let me choose the risk

And how do you feel about killing someone if you have no symptoms and spread it to someone else?
Does that make you “manly”?

Amen. Most Eastern cultures (countries) wear a mask even when they think they may just have a cold as not to infect other people. Their culture is one of society comes first over individualism (feeling manly). In other countries it is more important that no one tells you what do to because the individual is more important than society (manly). As stated previously, the mask is to protect others especially if you are asymptomatic. So Mr. Manly Man whenever you are going to fall of that cliff let me know so I can watch but wear your mask (I don't want to see you fucking so let's do the cliff).

What an odd view of masculinity.

Perfect solution for you, and you'll probably feel more manly:

I'm in the USA.

I don't mock those who wear masks alone in the car, I have done it myself.

Mainly from forgetting to remove mask after leaving a store.

Or not wanting to take it off because then I'll park at the next place and leave my car and walk all the way up to the door and realize my mask is in the car and have to walk all the way back. It's just easier to leave it on.

Well maybe I should have used another word to describe the feeling of being defeated having to go out wearing a mask.
I'd say people aren't wearing makes to protect others it's more to protect themselves, me included
But got some keyboard warriors going.
It's still a sad sad situation the world has become.

I am all for wearing masks as I strongly believe that it works in containing the spread. Whilst hardly anyone wears masks here in VN anymore, literally everyone wore one when it was mandatory (and enforced). Last community transmission was in August and life is pretty much back to normal now (well, not so much for tourism-related businesses); wearing a mask for a few weeks was a small price to pay.
