Wear a mask? Even with 20,000 dead, some New Yorkers don't

In this Monday, May 11, 2020 photo, a jogger wearing a face masks runs in between a biker and a pedestrian not wearing masks as they make their way over the Williamsburg bridge in New York.New York's governor has ordered masks for anyone out in public who can't stay at least six feet away from other people. Yet, while the rule is clear, New Yorkers have adopted their own interpretation of exactly when masks are required, especially outdoors.

Since April 17, everyone in New York state has been required to wear a face covering in any place where they can't stay at least 6 feet from people who don't live with them. Only children younger than 2 and people with a medical excuse are exempt. It isn't unusual to see groups of park goers and essential workers — even police officers — leaving their masks dangling as they squeeze past people on sidewalks or chat with friends. They are perhaps most rarely used among people trying to exercise.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who says people are fine not wearing a mask if they are out walking alone, but need to put one on if someone approaches, on Tuesday described confronting a maskless man he encountered while walking his dog. The personal politics of masks caught up to Norm Scott, 63, of Brooklyn, when he got heat on one website for saying studies show the risk of the virus spreading outdoors, compared to indoors, is minimal. Scott said he merely wanted to bring perspective to the situation.

At a popular cupcake shop in Chelsea near the Manhattan park, a “mask required” sign on the window gave those standing in line an incentive to follow the rules — no mask, no cupcake.

I see one in this whole picture. Get feeling New Yorkers think DiBlasio and Cuomo lying charlatans too. Those two giving Italy a bad name.

Ppl of color R either 2 cheap 2 buy 1 or 2 stupid 2 know how 2 put it on.

I can't believe this is even an issue... WEAR YOUR DAMN MASKS PEOPLE!

For the overhyped seasonal virus that was used to strip rights and bring in Fascism all with the help of disgusting soulless networks like ABC

Not where I live in NY!

By headstrong you mean racists right? You meant to write racists. Just say it. Those who don’t want to wear masks aren’t headstrong, they are alt-right racists. Say it. You know that what you meant to say and you’re dying to say it.

Oh so now you like working for old white males you are so two face

If DJT started wearing a mask, a lot if this would go away.

Epidemiologist must be headstrong with their understanding of herd immunity. What the social distance Warriors control the narrative so people are gagged by the illusion of safety.

So us poor simple folk in the midwest are 'ignorant hicks' for asking this question. But when New Yorkers ask it, they are 'Headstrong'...

The right answer is to...never wear a mask if the citizen desires? And migrate from an oppressive city in order to preserve free will?

Does no one care about their parents and grandparents and those facing cancer treatment who can’t have treatment if sick Wear a mask anytime you have the potential to come in contact with another!!!!! How hard is this?

Is that guy wearing black floating

because 11k of those were non corona fatalities that just happened to test positive for corona as well... FEAR MONGERING DAYS ARE OVER MSM .. TAKE THE HINT.. we aint buying the goods youre sellin

I think there are other infection prevention measures besides masks…

lol... yea... don't listen to anyone who says it ok to go outside without a mask...
