Am I A Bad Person For This?

[Cindy1302]

I like to walk down a road near my house most days. I dont wear a mask because I dont plan on being around people. Occasionally my neighbors drive by and talk to me. They come within like 3-4 feet. Am I a bad person for not bringing my mask with me and wearing it?

[Hopkirk]

No, but why not put a mask in your pocket just in case?

[davebro]

no

[aelmpvw]

I've never worn a mask going for a walk in my village

[dannyk13]

Went to the hospital for an ultrasound scan yesterday without a mask and was not asked to wear one.No, you are not a bad person.

No

easy to stand 6' away from a window. Are you double jabbed? that is the most important

Covid is NOT spread in bright sunlight in open air - we know this because a million people went down to Darzet aaaargh! in July 2020 and no one got Covid. The data is out there

[gulliver1]

Well you are not really helping the, Battle of Covid by not wearing one. are you.

[bobbinwales]

This is outdoors going for a walk gulliver. You wear one when out inthe fresh air then?

Dick Turpin regularly wore a mask outdoors :-)

[cashier]

No, and it doesn't seem to bother your neighbours either.

I’ve never worn a mask outdoors.

I would wear one in a crowd outdoors, or in a large town city, but not otherwise. But I must admit I don't get near to people outside. I live rurally and people are still avoiding getting too near even on country walks. People politely move over. However I avoid towns and cities anyway regardless of Covid.

[Peter Pedant]

Naomi is right - the science is pretty terrible
BUT - - it may have a function as a ritual to remind people to do the covid thing

[pat2604]

So basically you are not a bad person.

Just a thought Pierre.

PP, I didn’t say that. Stop making it up.

[Peter Pedant]

thank you caporal
the situation needs to be monitored...

I saw the report and wondered about confirmation bias ( you see something you wanna see and say - yes yes, look it is all true)

[Peter Pedant]

// PP, I didn’t say that. Stop making it up.//
these clarifications: I cant keep up
I swear I heard you say that we have a duty to question the science constantly....
and I wrote a rather polished ( altho I say it myself ) addition about science and its progression ( Lavoisier, J C Maxwell, Chadwick, Jim 360 and many many more)
but no.... it could hae been a drwam

[naomi24]

You’re confused again.

[andres]

Why not put one in your pocket just in case.
Apparently almost 5,000 festival goers tested positive afterwards.
You're not telling me that this virus only exists indoors and doesn't affect anyone outdoors. No-one really knows .

[diddlydo]

I've never worn a mask outdoors and since the magic date in July when they were no longer mandatory in shops, supermarkets etc I haven't worn one at all, including on our infrequent and mainly empty local buses.
