Hi, Jeanne and Jan.

Hi, BK.

Hi, y'all.

I am fine with the idea of wearing a mask inside to avoid giving or receiving this. I will not be happy if I feel the need to wear one while walking. There are too many inconsiderate people out there not practicing social distancing. They walk 2 or 3 across while we go single file to pass, or up a lawn if there is one. They don't say thank you or make any effort to move over.

Today we noticed idiots walking with obviously friends trying a bit of distancing from each other, which of course made it more difficult for us. At one point I yelled to Keith in front of me that I couldn't move over any farther. He yelled back something similar. They still didn't move over.

I am wearing a mask at all times now. It is an amazing mask in that it looks exactly like my face. You'd never even know it was there.

My mask causes my glasses to fog up. I bet your mask doesn't do that.

I should state there are still polite people out there who stay on their side or change to single file, or say thank you to us.

I took a walk yesterday and didn't wear my mask. But I wondered if maybe I should have. As Jane said, inconsiderate people.

All those deserted photos, every single one of them, are taken at five or six in the morning.

Jeanne, why should you have worn your mask if you weren't near people? It serves NO purpose if you aren't hear others. They just need to keep fueling the panic and hysteria and the story changes every ten minutes and I have HAD it.

bk · « **Reply #131 on:** April 03, 2020, 05:11:46 PM »

If people want to wear them, fine. But the first person who looks at me askance will RUE the day.

Because there were more people on the street than I expected and they made no effort to distance, even though it would have been easy to do so.

these were the people I ran into Sunday. Now, they've closed the parks, so I won't be going back for a while.

I wear a mask outdoors simply because of the pollen in the air.

Jeanne · « **Reply #135 on:** April 03, 2020, 05:17:49 PM »

My mask is an allergy mask and designed to keep out dust and pollen. Given my allergies it does make sense to wear it at times, even though I normally don't. If you can find one that's comfortable for you then I think it's a small price to pay for a bit of protection.

Because the people are not keeping their distance.

Are you keeping proper social distance etiquette? If so, then not wearing a mask isn't an issue.

bk · « **Reply #140 on:** April 03, 2020, 05:23:53 PM »

People are idiots - speak up, tell them to move away. But unless they're six feet from you, they're not giving you anything, mask or no mask. And answer this one: This has been going of for three weeks now - I have yet to hear a single person cough or sneeze on the occasions when I've been outside.

bk · « **Reply #141 on:** April 03, 2020, 05:24:29 PM »

I don't go anywhere near people or I stand at a proper distance.
