They could be an uber driver, or someone moving their car a short distance while shopping.

Otherwise, I do find that weird and I am an ardent masker. Actually, come to think of it, the other day I drove home that way because I just forgot to take it off when I left the supermarket.

So there are non-weird explanations. I doubt they account for all the cases.

Why are you an ardent masker? Are you unvaccinated?

Not the poster, but I am immunocompromised. So I mask.

I just plum read too much about immunology and pathogens during the pandemic. Plus being able to opt out of pollen and flu season is just a duh, why not. Yes our bodies are good at fighting off stuff. Doesn’t mean I need to roll the dice with everything all the time.

I’m fully vaccinated but Covid cases are still widespread (I’ve never had it). There’s no need to risk the ans yet not understood sequelae.

Plus I don’t get colds any more
