It shows they they are doing it to make a statement and not for any scientifically backed reason.

That being said, there are many situations where it still makes sense:

- Feeling sick and on your way to pick up someone else

- Just dropped someone off and haven't taken it off yet

- It's not easy to take on and off so you just leave it on

- You're only driving for a minute and will need it when you get out.

So they're still wrong, but I see why they said it.

The first one makes sense, but the other ones don't resonate for me. Is it hard to take off a mask? When would I ever need a mask when I get out of my car (I only ever exit to the outdoors, unless I'm parking my own garage). If I'm going to need to put it on before going into a store, I would just put it on before going into the store itself.
