[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many ignorant American people who do not understand a basic biology or the nature of viruses. You cannot get a virus outside in fresh air unless someone literally spits all over your face. That includes flu virus too. Most viruses stay in air for at least 3-4 hours INSIDE. So it is very likely to get sick indoors. Make sure your child washes their hands often especially after touching playground equipment.[/quote]

And the odds of asymptomatic transmission indoors is .7%. So odds of someone outdoors, positive with no symptoms, spitting in face? Seems very much in line with risks we take every day.[/quote]
And sometimes it’s just about sending a positive message to our neighbors and doing little things that may encourage them to enjoy our shared spaces as well.  It’s just a mask.  Please wear one so those of us who are less risk prone can venture outdoors more confidently.  It’s not just about you and your “rights”.[/quote]

The message you send to me when you wear a mask outside in low-density areas is "I'm anxious and either scientifically illiterate, or I assume those around me are." It makes being outside for me a less comfortable and generally creepier experience, not a more positive one. This was one thing when you could reasonably not know this was a nonissue, but we are way past that point. [/quote]
