The only thing we can think of how my husband got the virus was being unmasked at a park and a jogger running close to him. So please stop with this nonscientific stuff. Masks outside are as important around other people as inside. The protesters wore masks.

Indeed, if short-range aerosol transmission outdoors was that infective, even in a passing moment, from a jogger no-less (a healthy person), we'd have billions of infections. Not denying the possibility or your experience, but... there really is a lot of data by now.

I'm saying this because I think communicating a realistic relative risk assessment can help us highlight overlooked issues (people should mask up indoors at all times, even if they can distance) while recognizing outdoors is, indeed, different.

This should be simple: in my morning walk I see no one and don't wear a mask. When I go to the supermarket I wear a mask. Are there gray areas? Sure, but use common sense. Also, check internet for supermarket hours with the least traffic--it's posted online. Not hard.
