We all appreciate the wisdom of learned folks who advise that we should wear face masks when in possible contact with others. What’s puzzling is the number of fully isolated folks who are wearing protection with NO ONE AROUND THEM. Alone in their cars, alone in jogging or a stroll, they’re outfitted like a gas attack is imminent.
Research shows it is virtually impossible to catch COVID-19 outdoors, unless you’re French-kissing or arguing nose-to-nose with someone.
There’s no accounting for paranoia. As a wise person once said, “Having common sense is not a gift, it’s a curse. Because you have to deal with all the others who don’t have it.”
