, if understandable, given that we were still learning things about the virus and were trying to be as careful as possible. But now, as we’ve come to know more about the virus, as vaccinations are ramping up, and as we’re trying to figure out how to live with some level of COVID in a sustainable way, masking up outside when you’re at most briefly crossing paths with people is starting to feel barely understandable.
I am not suggesting this simply because I am very sick of wearing a mask at all times outside my home. When it comes to coronavirus spread, evidence shows that being outdoors is very, very safe. Alooked at 1,245 cases in China and found just one instance of outdoor transmission, which involved people having a conversation, which means they had to be close to one another for some period of time and face to face.
Man. Get this. When the pandemic started, only 1 person on the planet had it.
Essentially click-bait tripe. Title makes provocative assertion that it's time to stop wearing masks outside, author cites experts who say it's not time, author closes by complaining that wearing masks is hard and they are tired of it. Give me a break.
Still better odds than finding a Slate article useful.
Important and well said Shannon but here’s thing: it was never necessary to wear one by oneself. It’s just that a certain crowd didn’t have the guts to say it. That’s the scariest and most ridiculous part.
Can't wait for the 'branch covidians' and their science denying saying you have to wear masks
This is an embarrassingly bad story. The essence of the story is “I have to say: I don’t agree!” with masking outdoors because the risk is low. Not zero. I actually can’t think of a legitimate reason masks are bad but let’s pretend not seeing a strangers mouth is really bad
I rarely wear a mask as is 🤷♂️
Comment from all the ugly people advocating outdoor masking is gold!
Ughh you people are exhausting (in the comments).
I am astonished with what ease you’re spreading misinformation that will kill people. 566K is not enough? Shameful! Instead of spreading misinformation, why don’t you educate and tell people to get vaccinated. If everybody does, It will be over in 2 months. sciencematters
That's a really weird way to talk about probability...given how high the probability of getting hit by a car is compared to being struck by lightning.
So many BUT MUH MASK people in the comments sheesh.... you are literally who the article is aimed at you goobers
Blink twice if you’re being held hostage by some white supremacist science-denying racist maskless anti-vaccine TERF phobicky low T gun-toting incel. 😲
