I suspect these will change but even without vaccination, outdoor spread was rarer and confined to prolonged, close contact (under one's control) and people can get vaccinated and/or wear a mask themselves. Mandates make sense when risk is high and individual protections limited.https://twitter.com/AlecMacGillis/status/1389017564421009410 …

So it's tempting to say who cares, but when in this context—a year of shutting down outdoor access, ignoring risks to workers while calling them "essential" and blaming the victims while shaming people for safe activities—it matters. If the rest weren't there, yeah who cares.

I'm not really concerned if individuals chose to be more cautious—and we should not judge, and everyone has their own circumstances, none of our business. I'm concerned because we've been shutting down the safest activities for a whole year, and not supporting those at real risk.

Clearer on the news. The key for me is that I’m still seeing all sorts of outdoor stuff being banned and *curfews* around the world. (DC just banned *standing* along with dancing in outdoor weddings if I am reading their order correctly).https://twitter.com/mdaniels5757/status/1389230002043072516 …

In Santa Cruz, our health director closed the beaches because they attract 1000's of tourists from all over the world, therefore to stop the spread at places like hotels and restaurants, it was imperative to stop the tourists from coming for our beaches.

Agree. Mandating masks outdoors further enables fear-based messaging and isn't evidence-based. It erodes public trust. Certainly anyone who wants to keep masking outdoors can do so -- without shame -- but our personal & public health decisions should be rooted in facts, not fear.
