The delivery drivers around here don't wear masks, but there is no particular reason they should. They are putting our packages on the doorstep, pressing the door bell, stepping back a few metres and waiting for us to open the door. They aren't getting us to sign for anything. They just don't get near us at all.

Driving or exercising with a mask, especially if N95, is a mistake. I recall seeing quite a few references showing lower oxygen levels on a person with a mask. That and a few lethal accidents where the driver passed out while wearing a mask.

It is summer here and the use of a mask outside is very noticeable. For the delivery drivers and their open trucks (no AC), I think it would be a very dangerous combination.

masks do not block the airflow that much and are you seriously saying that a mask that was produced for ones safety and passed the standards is dangerous? grow up! N95 masks are also a waste of time unless your a doctor or otherwise bio-hazard trained. I have a dust mask for working in my loft with twin filters and it does not restrict breathing at all. Workers in hazardous environments like asbestos removal wear these a lot and no one to date has died of it!
