    Very few people here wear masks outdoors. I certainly do not and nor does my spouse. Never have and there is really no need if physical distancing can be maintained. Besides there are no provincial or municipal regulations requiring outdoor masking. We nevertheless avoid outdoor situations where there are crowds and large gatherings such as multi family picnics, concerts and sporting events as well.

      1. Use your common sense.

      2. Don't be an asshole.

      Is it really that hard?

      I was only joking

        I never wear a mask outdoors but almost everybody else here does. Walkers, joggers, etc. I don't know that it's so much a political statement as it is monkey see, monkey do.

        Education is extremely important.

          No, it's not. That applies to so many things.

          We had dinner with a friend who was trying to justify her belligerent ant-mask stance with the old saw that masks make you sick! But she is getting more irascible as she ages.

            I never wore a mask outdoors or in my car. But I also wasn’t in close proximity of people outdoors except passing by.

            I noticed a big difference between how people are around here, small town, and in Boston. Here, not many wear them outside as you can space pretty easily. In Boston, everybody had one on.

            My 92 year old mother lives in Boston and walks every day. She has received the vaccine. If she sees someone coming without a mask she will cross the street.

              For many people, yes.

                    Depends on the color.

                    Of the mask, that is.

                        The reason the CDC talk to us as though we're a bunch of morons who can't use their common sense is because we're a bunch of morons who can't use our common sense.

                          Social media seems to be more effective than our education system although we were morons before it took hold.
