I’ve been noticing something strange. I saw it a few times a few months ago, thought it was a fluke. Now I’m seeing it frequently, as in at least several times a day.

People wearing masks while driving. Often when driving alone. Huh?

Two people in a car might make sense. One’s infected and one isn’t, yet. Or one’s immunocompromised and the other’s being extra cautious. Or a dozen other possible scenarios.

But wearing a mask while driving solo?

What am I missing?
