While I was hiking recently with my family, a woman came toward us from the other direction, wearing a standard face mask. As we neared, she jumped to the edge of the trail and then pointed at us. Firmly, but not rudely, she asked us to keep our distance while we passed. We weren't wearing masks. No one — at least who we saw — in the park was wearing a mask, except her. Being outside and occasionally passing strangers is a very low-risk activity for Covid-19 exposure, so we didn't cover our hot and sweaty faces with masks.Paul Rudd, 'certified young person,' wants you to wear a mask We were not being careless, and in Georgia, where we live, wearing masks isn't required while exercising outdoors.
That is the lesson of the masked hiker — modeling behavior and firmly, but not rudely, speaking up. That may look like telling friends you're not comfortable hanging out inside a restaurant. Talking with the parents of our kids' friends about maintaining distance on playdates. Asking someone in a store to pull their mask over their nose. Pointing at strangers on a trail and asking them to keep their distance, especially if they aren't wearing a mask.
