You state opinion as if it is fact, and those opinions are NOT correct according to the CDC. You make it sound like there is no chance of catching it while outside and that wearing a mask outside is not necessary. Both are wrong:

There is nothing about having to be within six feet for 15 minutes being required to catch it. In fact, recent studies have shown that particles can hang in the air for 20 seconds and be spread as much as 20 feet, including outdoors, by things like a sneeze. And Fauci certainly doesn't have your dismissive attitude toward mask-wearing.

Walk in your neighborhood. Take a can of high pressure pepper spray or bear spray with you.

Feel exactly the same. So tired of the anti-maskers, etc. It really is hard to find safe space.

You won't want to hear this but wearing a mask outside is not needed in most situations.
