This is the crux of the matter, and why each “side” cherrypicks info to bolster its own opinion:
Erring on the side of protection — by exaggerating the risks of outdoor transmission — may seem to have few downsides. But it has contributed to widespread public confusion about what really matters. Some Americans are ignoring the C.D.C.’s elaborate guidelines and ditching their masks, even indoors, while others continue to harass people who walk around outdoors without a mask.
As for personal experience, I had to walk into “town” yesterday, and on my way back, this guy who was dressed like a construction worker (unno, despite the hardhat, nothing around was being constructed) asked the (masked) guy in front of me if he got his vaccination (ignored), then when I was passing, he asked me that (answered “oh yeah, 8 times already!”… wonder what he made of that).
So I’m wondering what his point was.
Indoors, yeah, everyone’s masked up, but outdoors, I’d guess half’n’half.
Nice thing about the warmer weather is that the chickies are back to wearing tights and belly-shirts again, woohoo!
