Did I miss the memo? Why are the majority of people on the street not wearing masks?

I wear a mask any time I am inside a public place or outside when social distancing is not feasible. Most people in my area comply with that—most stores require it.

I do not wear a mask in my car, or walking my dog outside when I can easily stay 10 ft. away from anyone I encounter along the way.

To be completely honest, when I’m walking around OUTSIDE generally don’t wear a mask. I do however try to walk in the street when other people or passing and just in general try to stay six feet from people. I also live in uptown area and don’t really come in contact with that many people and always wear a mask in side. It may not be the right thing but I overall feel I’m being pretty safe

I totally agree, if I lived in or frequented the loop It would be a different story. I would be much more vigilant about wearing a mask outside.

If you are outside and not in close proximity to others then it’s not a big deal if you don’t wear masks.

OP is probably the person who drives in the car by themselves with a mask on 😂 but in seriousness if you are outside, you do not need a mask. Covid is airborne in terms of saliva particles, not air..

I can't believe people wear masks in their cars while driving... Masks don't protect you. MAYBE they help protect others and that's a big maybe

That is not how your immunity works.

Everything that I have read on the virus suggests that the risk of spreading or contracting the virus is extremely low if just walking by someone on the street. I wear a mask indoors, but do not wear one if walking down the street or out running / biking.

I came back from Florida and it’s much better up here with enforcing restrictions than down there. Where I am at, I’ve seen people wear masks for the most part.

If we are on the street, should we wear a mask?

Possibly. Entryways to alleys/corridors or any of the outdoor places in the Gold Coast that have shut down the streets probably. Going for a run along the lake... or any of the major streets, probably not.

There are people that have respitory health issues and cannot wear a mask, keep that in mind.

7+% of the US population has asthma alone, you're kidding yourself. If your mask works, then great keep wearing it if they can't.

I heard Lightfoot said all the people not wearing masks are from Wisconsin and Indiana...

By Lightfoot, do you mean Groot?

Can anyone please guide?
