Have looked into getting one. Seen them being sold by people next to the people selling strawberries here.
No , because all science points towards mask working while in public. All of it not one study shows otherwise. If you are following what we should be doing , you should not be out unless you need to be and when you are out wear a mask.
I find it a moral issue , those that don't seem to think about only themselves the opposite of what you are saying.

No. Gieseke logic lol
Mask + social distancing protocols > social distance protocols (that you admittedly aren't following anyways)
When I am out doors next to no one, I don't wear one. When I am in close proximity or enter a public place I do.
Now, seperate yourself and your family into isolated units with no connection between you all to not further the spread. Everyone has to to their part. Thank you.
No expert has EVER, in all this shifting landscape, recommended isolation within healthy family homes, but even Johan "No Worries" Giesecke thinks your bar visits and house parties are irresponsible.
No joke.
I leave the house to run before 6am.
On the rare occasion that I see someone walking or running I cross the street.
I wore a buff for the first month and pulled it up over my mouth when I saw someone but stopped.
None of the people walking or running wear them but we wave at one another from opposite sides of the street
I see lots of deer, more deer than people, but they don't wear masks either.
I did go to mail one item and I need to mail a poster to someone soon.
100% wore a mask that one time and will wear a mask any time I know I will be around people.
Do you truly think wearing a mask makes someone a selfish idiot?

I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..
Also are we just doomed to always repeat history , if you look up anything from the 1918 flu world epidemic , that had people fighting against wearing mask. Saying their liberty was being taken away or the government was going too far. A frontline doc on the issue said around 50% of deaths could have been avoided had everyone worn face coverings.
Yet 102 years latter we are arguing over masks.
I would just like to also say I don't think anyone is taking about someone taking a hike or walk by themselves in woods or outside not around anyone else.
If you are out in public walking down a busy street in the city with other people on it , shopping of any kind and going into any business wear a mask for gods sake.
Anything less is showing your true moral character , you don't know if you are an A-symptomatic carrier , so you could be savings someone else.
I feel like when they first said seatbelts had to be used by law I bet idiots argued it was their right to die in a car accident.

At work I'm required to wear a mask anytime I'm within 2 metres of patients or staff, which is pretty much any time I'm not alone in my office. I also wear a mask anytime I'm out and about walking down the street, in a store, etc. I don't wear a mask when I'm out running or cycling, since (a) I'm never very close to others and (b) the risk of transmission outdoors is tiny, unless you're in a crowd, which I am not. I did participate in a protest and did wear a mask then, but also spent the whole time walking around the perimeter of the crowd so that I was never close to any specific person for more than a few seconds. The rate of mask wearing out in public enclosed places is very high where I live.
You run in the city, right?
So crossing the street might not be am option sometimes.
