Constantly making fools of people who are doing nothing that affects you is far worse than wearing a mask while 20 feet from someone or in a car with the windows closed. Seems to be some kind of obsession as you constantly comment on people who do that. Let them take care of themselves as long as it causes you no personal discomfort or harm.

Would that condescending attitude be considered good "bedside manners?" If the intent is to educate someone there certainly is a better way to express that knowledge in a nicer manner.

Thank you, EdFNJ,
You said it for me.
That tone of condescension makes me wonder, too.
The mask-wearing OP was well aware that Scooter would draw a crowd and therefore, decided to wear a mask, even though outside , and to maintain distance in order to do what they could to see if it was possible to enjoy the show while taking precautions to try to protect their own health.
There is nothing about what they did that deserves to be mocked. Why on earth would “a doctor” belittle someone who is trying?
(Btw, when I see the bald-faced space invaders, I must confess that I assume they are in some kind of cult and have been programmed to show their devotion to their leader by their “in-your-face” behavior.)
