see MoJo this a.m. where he had a doc on who said we no longer need to mask up if vaccinated and outside. Joe and Mika enthusiastically agreed! What the hell????

1. I don't see why you would need to mask up if

outdoors unless it would a very crowded event.

[snowybirdie]

4. With 7000 new cases

a day in Florida and 7% positivity rate, A person would be nuts to disregard guidelines. And Joe lives in Florida with a 87 year old mother in law!

2. If you are vaccinated and outside you (most likely) do not need a mask

Unless you are jammed into a stadium setting with 70,000 people.

Or are walking very crowded streets with no space at all.

You are fine to be without a mask outdoors 90% of the time.

5. 7000 new cases yesterday in Florida

[SoonerPride]

9. That number means nothing.

Did these people contract the virus outside?

Had they been vaccinated?

Or did they go dine indoors? Go to a bar?

Engage in other risky behavior?

If you are vaccinated, outdoors is almost entirely safe unless you are right up on people.
And even then the vaccine efficacy is 95%.

So you are still VERY safe outdoors without a mask on.

IF YOU ARE VACCINATED (which was the original thrust of the OP)

7. I can see that but I am not going to wear a mask mowing

the lawn, riding a bike or walking from the parking lot to Wal-Mart. I was in Wal-Mart today I doubt 1/2 the customers were wearing one in the store.

8. All the more reason to wear one.

The vaccines are 76% - 95% effective, not 100%. If only half of the fools indoors are wearing them, you're putting yourself at risk.

[doc03]

10. I do wear one in a store but not outside when there

is nobody else near me.

[Ms. Toad]

16. That wasn't clear from the post I responded to. n/t

11. The OP was about vaxxed poeple wearing masks OUTDOORS

There is no reason to wear masks outdoors if you have been vaxxed.

[Ms. Toad]

15. I was responding to the individual who talked about being inside WalMart. n/t

14. mowing the lawn--no need to wear a mask

biking? i don't know

parking lot into walmart - i'd say yes, considering you might be passing someone who sneezes or coughs.

inside walmart and a lot of anti maskers? please consider doing pre-orders and just going to pick things up rather than going inside and being around those without masks.

target does the drive up/pick up too.

3. Sounds correct to me.

[snowybirdie]

6. 7%positivity rate in Florida

[SoonerPride]

12. For vaxxed people, outdoors?

The positivity rate for vaxxed people outdoors without masks is zero.

[demmiblue]

13. I have never worn a mask outdoors.

Then again, my outdoor activities don't involve close approximation with other people.

[snowybirdie]

17. As To my original

post. I was referring to wearing a mask, even outdoors, when close to others. No need ever when just outside away from people. We still need to be careful. Sit away from people in a restaurant, wear a mask when ordering, don't congregate in a crowded bar. All the anti vaxers keep us vulnerable folks needing to be ultra careful. Not good for a tv personality to tell his fans otherwise.
