        Actually it’s because people aren’t wearing masks, but thanks for being racist

        They're going to help a little bit, but they have a lot of bypass. You're on the right track though. We could reopen things indoors if we had a constant gust of wind.

        Thanks for sharing this. I’m seeing lots of outdoor exercise classes pop up in parks- are they safe? I see people on yoga maps spaced out but not wearing masks. Is that a problem?
