    Yikes. The way to get the most benefit from masks is not to force them onto people where there is little to marginal benefit, but to inform people fully and ask people to use them where we need them most: indoors and around people. Masks can be necessary outdoors but not always.https://twitter.com/JuliaLMarcus/status/1323393745644064770 …

    Masks now mandated outdoors in MA regardless of distancing. How will this reduce infections? Most transmission is happening indoors, so ensure people have safer spaces to gather: tents, heat lamps, fire pits. Focus on actual risk, not pandemic theater. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/11/02/nation/charlie-baker-orders-people-wear-masks-public-no-matter-how-far-they-are-other-people/ …

        It’s the Puritan virtue signaling aspect overtaking the epidemiological aspect...though “it depends” is harder to write into a regulation

        Hi Dr. Tufekci I am advising an office space is reopening with 4 people on how to do so safely. 2 questions they had for me that I couldn't answer were 1) Does keeping the air conditioning on increase risk? (they are already opening windows) 2) Where to put portable HEPA filters?

        Are tents really safe? Presuming people from different pods are in it.

        And extreme measures like this one make the anti-mask contingent more emboldened to call the whole thing "fake."

        I’m currently outside, by myself, with no mask on (different state). If I were in close proximity to people not in my bubble, then I would wear one.

        Unfortunately we have a horrible science denier for a Governor. People think MA is liberal, but the Republican Governor has better approval numbers among Dems!

        The only time masks are really needed outside is when you’ve gotten it on juuuuust right so your glasses don’t fog and you don’t want to mess it up before you have to go back in. It’s sanity, not sanitation.
