Yep, I'm not sure there's much evidence of efficacy to wearing a mask outdoors when you are only having limited contact with strangers. In an environment where you are having longer term close contact with a large number of strangers like a train, that's a no brainer, but are you really going to get COVID walking past someone outside for half a second? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no No if that means its because we dont have a vaccine for years Yes if it means this will be virtually gone by the fall, but I doubt thats the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. Exactly, we're allowed to exercise outdoors as much as we want, just stay 2m apart. I have a mask if I need it. 11 minutes ago, WizeGuy said: Former WHO official says coronavirus could 'burn out naturally' before a vaccine is available | TheHillhttps://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/longevity/498335-former-who-official-says-coronavirus-could-burn-out Well, this would be nice, wouldnt it? Professor Sikora is such a good follow on socials with his optimism, I doubt this happens but he's saying it's an unlikely possibility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Wouldn't you be better off not wearing a mask if you already have the virus and aren't likely to pass it on to someone else? It seems like it would be better to get the infected water droplets out into the atmosphere instead of having to breathe through a dirty mask. I'm talking people about wearing a mask while outside mostly I'm not giving advice, just asking a question. Also not going to take any answers to seriously Edited May 19, 2020 by vikesfan89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've put up with so much over the last two months, I can't believe this is where the line is drawn. *Thought in quotations because it's clear very little goes on between the ears of these people. My personal beef with the masks is: I just don't like it. I also don't like not being able to turn at all red lights, go over the speed limit if I have a car equipped to do so, etc. I think you get where I am coming from, no actual basis I just like to do what I want...like a child with a beard. My logical beef with the masks is: Mask vs "face covering" drives me nuts. Unless everyone was walking around with N95 masks that were perfectly secured to their face, then I would be ok...but you get...people wearing a bandanna (useless), people not covering their nose or constantly touching the mask (counterproductive), people who mask clearly doesn't fit (useless) and people like me, beard = no seal. There is a reason in certain hospital settings or surgery settings, everyone is geared up and not just 50% of the people, 50% of the people isn't going to cut it, has to be all or might as well be none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not assume that NJ and FL are using the same guidance. At this point I can't imagine what some states are going off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
