Maybe for some folks it is awkward to remove the mask while driving. I've done it numerous times and hung the mask on my rear view mirror and have not found it to be the least bit awkward or difficult, but then that's me.
I wear a cup mask with two straps. My glasses ride over the top part of the mask. I also often wear a cap. I need two hands to don/doff the mask.
Hanging things on the rearview mirror may be illegal.

When this all started it seemed clear that wearing the mask was to protect others. After all, we are not told to wear eye protection even though getting infected through your eyes is quite possible.
But then came the onslaught of TV and internet ads, many claiming you should wear a mask for your own safety. Protecting one's self is more likely to get people to part with their hard earned money. I haven't seen any ad that said wear a mask to protect others.

Exceeding the speed limit is also illegal yet many, many people do it every day.
I wear a washable cloth mask. I can put it on and take it off with one hand.

I understand your sentiments, but any barrier is better than no barrier. Of course, it's not just about protecting others, it's about protecting each other. If you wear a mask, it might encourage others to do the same - unless their name begins with a T.

has anyone noticed that most people look better when masked.

Yes quite a few do look better. I'm hard of hearing and the muffled voices add to my pleasure of not having to listen. LMAO. Guess there are some real up sides to masks I hadn't thought about. I guess if I had to see people and fully understand what they are talking about I would go from mildly annoyed to being pissed off.

I always where a mask when out in public, but they can be dangerous. I went into an office to pay a bill. A normally friendly dog started snarling and snapping at me. I pulled the mask down and with wagging tail the dog turned around and went to curl up in her bed. Next time I'll just mail them a check.
A funny thing when I shop at Lowes, wearing a mask. I get a military discount, and if it's a cashier who doesn't know me they ask for my photo ID. They laugh as they explain that their manager insists on it.

You can buy medical grade masks that say N 95 on them
Or KN95?

I hate going into a store and workers and shoppers wear the mask like a chin strap. When people get the virus and tell the medical group they always wear a mask, I doubt most wear it correctly.

The Covid-19 virus particles are passed on inside water/liquid droplets which are hundreds if not thousands of times larger than the virus particles alone, hence trapping the virus. These water droplets can be successfully caught by masks available in the market place to everyone, when worn correctly. That is the real mechanics!
Exactly! That completely misleading “virus size” argument is constantly repeated by mask non- believers and constantly debunked by the fact (either not understood or conveniently left out) that the virus is transmitted through the air primarily by droplets. This misinformation appears in almost every UHH thread on the subject.
