[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our thought is that there is only a small percentage that would say Yes to this. Those people are probably only  wearing  a mask because you asked them to. These same people are most likely the ones (with families) who are traveling, eating out, visiting family/friends, playing sports, going to school - just putting themselves in the most situations  and taking the  most risk - with and without masks.

For these reasons, I think that If my kid was going to catch Covid, I think tots more likely  of it being from someone who would also be attending this non- essential party  is higher. [/quote]

I have had this same thought about similar situations and I think it is very true. I went somewhere farther outside DC that had both indoor and outdoor shopping activities. They did require a mask indoors, but the vast majority of people outdoors did not wear masks or keep any sort of distance, and it was somewhat crowded (much more than I expected). I took a quick spin around outside, putting as much distance as possible between me and others, and left. My thinking was exactly yours-- if these people were behaving that way, they were very likely to behave that way all the time, so the increased risk to me was exponential-- and there was no way I was going to be indoors with them (where I'd bet good money a lot of them would not be wearing masks properly anyway).
