Enough with the shaming, OP. These moms chose a relatively safe way to socialize. Stop judging others or “Stay the f*** home”.

Why not wear a mask, though? Why not to afford others a safe way to socialize?

Because they were outdoors? Because you don't know if they are seeing each other for months and weeks? Bcs you can see them and not go into that area if you are a freak show that has to bump shoulders with people outdoors.

They were the freak show who situated themselves in the middle of the playground.

I like your speculations! Here’s my take. I think they see each other every weekend and came to the playground after eating indoors together. They don’t care.

So they were in the middle of the playground? I thought they were blocking the entrance. The entrance to the playground is in the middle of it? So, now they are also eating inside together? If this is op, your story is nothing but the showcase of some extremely Hyacinth Bucket behavior!

It’s not OP. You were making up stories about the social deprivation of the people you don’t know, why could not I make up a scenario too (a one that is much more likely).

It is much smaller than indoors but not null. Transmission depends on the proximity to others, exposure, and activity (speaking loudly and yelling increases transmission chances).


It’s not so black and white.
There is no risk of an indoor transmission when people are in separate indoor settings, but there is a risk of an outdoor transmission when people are yelling while standing close to each other.

This was a small playground, the adults were talking animatedly and loudly, and the kids (masked, except for theirs) had to pass around their conversation to go from one part of the enclosed area to another. What would u have done?

Because socializing outdoors with a mask is low risk as is socializing outdoors without a mask. Maybe these moms needed to have real social interaction and see each others’ faces. Socializing outdoors is low risk in general and policing others with your superfluous mask rules isn’t helpful. Personally I am happy that people are finding less risky ways to get their social needs met. You have no idea what mental health challenges others are facing right now. I wish more people would look at the messaging that Julia Marcus has put out regarding risk reduction.
