Yup.  I never wore a mask when walking solo around our suburban neighborhood, where it’s very, very easy to stay far from anyone I might have come across.  I got plenty of dirty looks and I’m sure people assumed I was a Trump supporter.  Nope!  Very liberal federal government scientist who absolutely believes in COVID and who values the relevant science more than what people who assume too much think about me.[/quote]

Another liberal government scientist here who is judged for not wearing a mask outside while walking a large, mean dog. No one is going to get within 6 feet of me because Fido is on a 6 ft leash. But man I got glares for no mask. Today I got tons of glares for walking alone with no mask, outside, far away from people. I don't get it.

But I do wear a mask at the playground. If my kids need to wear it, it's only fair that I do too.

I'm also on edge because my FIl was hospitalized with covid. He managed to get it twice and the second time was after he was fully vaccinated. So I absolutely will wear a mask inside[/quote]

I’m so sorry about your FIL, PP.  I hope he’s okay.  I have a cousin who’s very dear to me, and who has been struggling with long-COVID for months.  I still wear a mask inside (at the grocery store, gym, etc.) despite being fully vaccinated.  To me, that’s more about setting a good example, since most adults in the US are *not* vaccinated and because we *know* indoors is different than outdoors when it comes to COVID.

People need to feel morally superior.  It would be great if they paid attention to the relevant science and cared more about that than political posturing.[/quote]
