      I can't really picture the thought process that leads to making "masks have no effect on spreading germs from your mouth" the hill you want to die on. Surgeons have been wearing them for a century for a reason.https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-04-10/medical-face-masks-an-illustrated-history …

      Pro-mask is not pro-lockdown; nobody has to wear a mask to stay home. The mask is the ticket to *end* the lockdown. I hate wearing masks, can't see while wearing them, won't wear one just walking empty streets. But I wear it inside stores, banks, takeout places.

      Which is bonkers, and really a sign of inability to use the most basic common sense in enforcing both law & order.https://twitter.com/dgoldwas/status/1261016152257552384 …

      "won't wear one just walking empty streets" In Los Angeles, you have to wear one outside, even if you're on an empty street. Thanks @MayorOfLA!

          Isn’t this an overreaction. To some states overreaction to the virus.Seems predictable to me

          Meanwhile San Antonio’s mask ordinance (which I don’t believe resulted in any fines) specifically stated that no one had to wear a mask while outdoors alone/with housemates...and still our state AG Ken Paxton threatened our mayor over it.

          Saint Fauci told us all very clearly back in March that masks "do nothing to protect you". The MAN is the final word on all things Wuhan Coronavirus. #EnoughSaid

          Well to be TOTALLY FAIR, situations are rarely discrete, walking an empty street very likely often leads to in person interactions within minutes. That said I'm anti-lockdown and probably even anti-mask, though the latter stance is more bravado.

          So in two tweets you are arguing for “masks being the price of freedom” and then against the level of mask use??? Your fears do not infringe on my liberties. Stop it.

          New York really hasn't enforced very much of the nit-picky rules other states seem to drill down on, and you still see ~70% compliance on the streets, probably 90% in stores for mask use. People *get* it, without government's heavy hand!

          How do you know the street will stay empty? Will people carry a mask just in case? I look at it this way: should it be legal to speed on an empty street? Run a stop sign or red light if no one else is there? Safety rules work best when we just follow them by default.
