Runners that live in U.S. cities: are you wearing a mask while out running?

I tried running on a couple of local trails wearing a Buff that I would raise and lower based on proximity to others. Almost nobody else wore any face covering and a disconcerting number didn't bother to move to their extreme edge of the trail or pass on that side to maximize distance. I found myself so angry the whole time that I am back to running only in the house on the treadmill and will wait until it gets colder and the trails quieter.

Pretty amazing how rude and/or cavalier people in the US are about Corona, but we've become a failing empire with a populace that revels in ignorance, so I can't say I'm surprised.

I'm curious, has your brain been surgically removed? Unless someone deliberately sneezes or coughs in your face from about 2 inches you know you can't catch it out on the trail right? You DO KNOW THAT RIGHT?

Jeez.

Meanwhile, Fam can run a sub-4 mile wearing a mask, so that should put to rest any notion that you can't breathe well enough to wear them while exercising, let alone go to the grocery store.

It's depressing that people are this paranoid. It's nearly impossible to catch a virus running past someone for a split second. If you don't believe this, you are the one who's anti-science.

Yes because of weak soy boy leftists like yourself.

Never wore a mask when running and never caught covid when running. Not a sheep and I have natural immunity

Spending a boatload of time today dredging up old threads and pontificating, tho.

You do you. Are we now to be subjected to volumes of addle-minded boasts about how pure your blood is?

I'll never get myocarditis and don't need to detox from spike proteins.

Only people in New York City still wearing masks are Karens and criminals. Give it another year before they’re illegal unless you have a legit medical issue.

Still wearing a mask.

Will never stop wearing a mask.

These kind of masks will never be illegal.
