I hope you’re wearing a mask at home to, right?

Right?

Read literally the order requires you to wear a mask when not eating or drinking. This is why someone literate should be writing policy. Even misplaced commas can take years to fix and cause no end of trouble.

Unless able to maintain 6 feet or more.

Right. If those things scare you, stay home.

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

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.

Grown adults discussing not wearing masks, little tiny pieces of cloth that are non invasive, that just might save one life.

Trumpers, selfish idiots who made this all possible. Pandemic is on you. Thanks so much...

Isn't that what was already in place?

OP here. Should have said Montgomery CLARIFIES order. Most of DCUM was dancing in the streets (alone with their masks on) yesterday.

Whether you are out walking or jogging, wearing a mask when you are likely to be within six feet of someone, even if it is solely in passing, is required.

I don't know how this could be more clear - it's *required*, not just "suggested" or "recommended" that walkers and joggers wear a mask even if they are within 6 feet of others for only brief moments when passing.

Unfortunately, DCUM tells me that many runners, breathing heavily, will continue to think it's okay to not have a mask on sharing a path or sidewalk with others.

I think Gayles needs to look up the definition of "fleeting."

A press release isn't a legal order.
