I wear a mask because

It's not that big of a deal! People act like a mask is painful. Ow, ow, ow. Do I like wearing one, no. I don't like taking out the garbage eithr. but I do it and I don't whine

I wear them everywhere inside, including inside of the classroom. The science couldn't be clearer outside - - if you are socially distanced from others, your chances of catching COVID outside is microscopic, same with worrying that you're going to get it off of cardboard packaging. Treefrog's worry that his jogging is going to get others sick is Chicken Littleism at its greatest - - unless it's the Boston Marathon and everybody is on top of one another, it's just not going to happen. This isn't QAnon stuff - - it's the studies being done at Scripps. It's been reported on by such conservative rags as the New York Times and Washington Post. Anyone who believes blanket statements about COVID is being purposefully obtuse or is terribly ignorant. Not all places and situations require the same amount of precautions.

Not really

I can't tell you how many times on the trail since March I've come from behind and a person/people in front of me will spit when I'm like 5 feet behind them.

I've started alarming when I'm approaching 'Coming from behind'

I also can't tell you how many times on the trail I'll get passed from a pack of like 5 bicyclists going over 15 mphs on the trail who come from behind me - all not wearing masks

Again - I look behind me to see if people are coming. There's actually sings for bikers on the trail - to please keep their speed below 15 mph. They literally do not care - no social distancing and no masks and I am in their 'spit stream' for God Knows how long

Also - it's jaw dropping - giant signs on the trail to please social distance and wear masks - I get passed on occasion of a pack of the same 10 joggers - without masks / no social distancing - it is appalling beyond belief

It's people like this who just don't care

This is exactly why I wear a mask while jogging - at 4:30am with a flashlight - and turn my back and put my head down when I see people coming - I have no clue what is coming out of their mouth at any given time that I may be breathing in.
