iaHN··on U.S. Hits Record Daily Death Toll, with Worse Likely to Come
You should direct your outrage towards people crowding in bars, constantly taking vacations, and attending large indoor church services.

I frequently see people walking off of the sidewalk for a few seconds to maintain social distancing. They don't seem to have any issue doing this, as there is usually enough space between sidewalk and car lanes to not have to walk into traffic.

edit - If you need to take a walk through downtown Los Angeles or somewhere where it is physically impossible to social distance, then yes wear a mask.

Focusing on masks alone while ignoring the complete CDC advice is virtue signaling.

I am responding to the complete CDC advice. The comment before that is the virtue signaling I am talking about. They focus on mask wearing only without also advocating for social distancing.

It's virtue signaling.

You do not really need a mask if you are out for a walk and are maintaining social distancing. It has been proven time and time again that the main culprit is people crowding indoors without masks.

If you are downvoting, please provide evidence that wearing a mask outside while maintaining social distancing has any substantial effect.

I worked at a big tech company for a few years. The moment I knew I was done with them was when the VP of our division said, during a quarterly all-hands "...and we're very hip too. We've hired quite a number of African Americans..."

People will be quick to remind you, both overtly and implicitly, that your skin color is a political tool.

I see myself playing this quite a bit whenever I have a few minutes to kill.

Thanks for sharing—very well done.
