[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The no food issue is silly when most people get carry out and other stuff.  Yes, its risky and not a good idea and you know it or you wouldn't be posting.[/quote]

Op here. This is why I’m confused. Over the summer all my friends were doing distanced, outdoor gatherings. When did the guidance on this change?[/quote]

NP. The guidance didn't change. There has never been any messaging to suggest that outdoor gatherings, with food, especially if you're not all over each other, is risky.

I've been doing it with family for months. We've often been more like 2feet away unmasked, but completely outdoors. It's fine. Try to give space when you can and mask if not eating, and the risk is extremely low. And it's ok to go indoors to use the restroom, just keep a mask on at all times.

You just have some hyper anxious crazies who have a very poor understanding of risk and measuring risk. The idiotic outdoor mask mandates didn't help, as those jurisdictions failed to distinguish between high trafficked busy outdoor promenades and centers, or busy pedestrian-heavy streets... and a casual walk passing someone on the sidewalk. It's led people to go to extremes - no modification, or an abstinence approach. Neither are healthy.[/quote]
