[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh -still not clear, which means people won't wear masks when they should. Like walking on crowded sidewalk - maybe passing is fleeting, but walking behind someone who isn't wearing their mask may be risky. And what about waiting at the light where people are standing still. Do those count as fleeting? [/quote]

Right. If those things scare you, stay home.[/quote]

[b]Why should I stay home so that you can stroll Bethesda Avenue without a mask?[/b]

Who knew there were so many covidiots in MoCo - I guess that explains our high infection rates. Even hospitals are getting closer to capacity now. But yes, you should still have a right not to wear a mask in public.[/quote]

The counterargument to this is obvious.[/quote]

Not really. You are required to wear clothes outside. You are required to have a drivers license to drive a car. What shouldn't you be required to wear a mask in public during a pandemic for everyone's safety?

Remember we are returning to normal society now - your Trumpy behavior is no longer okay.[/quote]

We could argue about whether you should or shouldn't be required to wear a mask in various situations, but the simple fact is that it's not required by this health order or the local executive order in many situations when you're outside.

If that makes you uncomfortable, then it's up to you to modify your behavior to make yourself feel better.  That might mean staying home.[/quote]

It would be one thing if covid were spread in passing someone outside (even much less than 6ft) but there is zero evidence that it does.

So if it brings you mental anguish to see or pass by unmasked people, either modify own your behavior or stay home. The risk of covid in a brief pass is zero.

Honestly I don’t care what you do. But don’t glare at me if I wear my mask to protect myself (and as a byproduct comply with the order). [/quote]

As long as you're not wearing a face shield in a car, I don't care what you do.

Well, knowing what I know about glasses fogging up, I'm not thrilled seeing drivers wearing masks. At least, if they're wearing glasses.[/quote]
