Transmission through surfaces is much less likely than other forms of contact, the primary mode being person-to-person contact in an enclosed space for a long period of time

In the fairly rare case of sharing a car with other people who you do not otherwise interact with then even then wearing a mask is not, by itself doing much at all. You would be better served washing your hands and not touching your face after each time you drive the car.

This doesn't refute what I said. Viral Dose matters.

Mask isnt gonna be 100% effective in any situation, but it still helps.

Might as well wear the mask AND take the precautions you mentioned.

I understand people wanting a pay check, to start their business, even to socialize but the anger over masks seems irrational and partisan

Amy Klobuchar's husband took hydroxychloroquine, "or some drug like it."

“Well, I think that I listened to the science there. I believe he did briefly take that drug … or some drug like it, but I think that we have to listen to the science and you have to listen to your doctors with what is going to work in each individual situation,” Klobuchar told SiriusXM's Michael Smerconish on April 7 regarding her thoughts about the debate swirling around hydroxychloroquine since her husband’s illness.

“Sometimes, you might have other conditions that make it so you can't take certain drugs. Sometimes your own condition with the virus wouldn't demand. I think people have to look at what works. I believe in science, something this president has been not listening to,” she added.

listen to the doctors, like the White House doctor that gave this to Trump.
listen to the doctors, that have given this to other patients that helped.
don't listen to the media that hates this drug simply because Trump mentioned it.

It doesn't refute it, but it does minimize it as far as transmission on surfaces, like the interior of a car.

Yeah, I don't get it either. I assume it's just everyone being kind of short tempered right now.

My daughters had a fight yesterday because the younger one wanted to move the older one's water bottle, the fight was loud and explosive and stupid. It lead to my wife having an anxiety attack and crying for an hour. The news and the monotony are getting to everybody.

Way to even butcher the short quote provided in the tweet, which actually says “Now is the time…to begin to seriously look at reopening the economy”. And here's the whole quote not butchered by you or the person tweeting the article:

He said the U.S. had to institute severe measures because Covid-19 cases were exploding then. “But now is the time, depending upon where you are and what your situation is, to begin to seriously look at reopening the economy, reopening the country to try to get back to some degree of normal.”

However, Fauci also cautioned states against reducing social distancing measures too quickly, adding they must take “very significant precautions.”

“In general, I think most of the country is doing it in a prudent way,” he said. “There are obviously some situations where people might be jumping over that. I just say please proceed with caution if you’re going to do that.”

I think you are asking a bit to much... I mean to accurately summarize a media form with 280 characters as a tall order for people.

It's pretty much been time since mid april, give or take depending on location. By mid april we saw and understood the effects of social distance being clearly effective, meaning it was time to start moving on to the next step.

And even more has come out in the last couple of days... That does refute what I said... Wearing a mask in your car is likely just , as ewing puts it, for the reps.

well this is not a good sign for these drugs...https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journ...20)31180-6.pdf

Now it's observational data (not a randomized controlled trial) but essentially those cholrorodofoofoine drugs, seem to increase not decrease the likelihood of the Big D.

And I am sorry ewing...https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/s...ronavirus.html
