Is it normal wearing a mask while driving, jogging, walking, biking, being outside

Anyone else think it makes no sense to wear a mask while driving alone, riding a bike, walking, doing anything outside.
I have to laugh when I see people wearing a mask while alone in their car. I do long distance bike rides and see people riding a bike with a mask on. Why wear a mask when outside. If Covid was in the air everywhere then everyone would get it.

    I agree it makes no sense if you aren't physically close to anyone that's not in your closest circle. When going inside a store you should wear it. But a person driving with a mask on could simply have forgotten to take it of, no big deal.

    Most often I forget that I am wearing a mask. I like to wear it when I am riding my scooter, for the comfort.

    For a while they thought covid might be airbourne, maybe they still do, I'm not keeping up anymore, but if so it's probably not strongly airbourne. I think being outside helps a lot and there is no need to wear mask unless you have to walk through a mass of people. Could be that they're on their way to or from seeing someone and they just left the mask on.

      Being a virus, covid needs hosts to survive. direct sunlight kills viruses since they have no protection from the damaging UV light.

      So wearing a mask outside is not needed. Plus like 80% of the population already has developed an immunity to it.

      I'm not anti mask I'm anti mandates for all of this crap. It was 2 weeks to slow the spread and it's been what 2 years? Crippling our economy and our children's futures? Suicide and domestic violence are up. Is saving a few thousand lives from covid worth that much? In my opinion it was not.

    Anyone else thinks it makes no sense that the “why do you care if I don’t wear a mask?” crowd care so much that other people do wear masks, even sometimes in situations they don’t need to?

    I've seen a few people do that. Funnily enough I rode my bike with one on once. Everything was peaceful till the airbenders attacked. One moment im trucking alot the next a wall of dirt was hurtling toward my face filling my nose and mouth just trying to breath.

    Then the water nation got in on it and tried to drown me.

    It was a 3 pronged attack. If only I was fire nation

    There are a variety of physical or medical reasons why people wear masks.

    In some cases breathing cold air triggers asthma - which can be prevented by wearing a mask when running or outdoors.

    There are many other reasons.

    I now wear a HEPA supplied air helmet (designed for the infectious disease wards) because Covid-19 made me hyper allergic to things - to the point that normal Asthma Drugs are useless. Avoidance is the only effective measure.

    I'd love to be able to wear a mask (I tried that most of the summer: Including N100 masks). Turns out that pollen and mold reacting with my eyes and eyelids are enough to trigger sufficient allergies to shut me down for days (Mental Zombie that sleeps a lot).

    I'm hoping that I don't have to wear this for the winter.

    So I really look weird to most people now.

    At one point the CDC was saying dont wear masks working out because of too much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen. Idk if they flip flopped on that one or not

    I've gotten used to wearing a mask outside so it just feels weird to not have one on, even if i'm just chilling in my car or something. Also I just enjoy having the added sense of anonymity that comes from wearing a mask.

    If you wear a mask while driving alone, you are a blithering idiot and are too stupid to live! I'm sorry, get off the road and simply go away forever!

    We want our normal way of life back and if there are less idiots around - best bonus ever!
