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.)

I'm not necessarily describing the OP. but these are the people who go around making comments to people who are not wearing a mask when they don't need to, riding alone in their car with a mask, playing golf in a mask, etc. So yes, they deserve to be mocked and belittled

wow, just wow
What I meant by “trying” is they were trying to do what they thought was best and, more importantly, they were not hurting anybody.
It’s not just in this thread, ge. I have seen you consistently post things that come off as an attempt to undermine mask-wearing. And doing so as “a doctor” is an absolute incongruity, as is the condescending tone, sometimes coupled with the big ol’ Merck Manual vocabulary that gets thrown in from time to time — not in an attempt to try to explain, but in an attempt to condescend and dismiss.
Maya Angelou said, “I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
You say they “deserve to be mocked and belittled.” — Well, that statement sure speaks volumes between the lines. I don’t think it is OK to mock and belittle innocent people. But I guess we will always have those who try to make themselves feel better by making others feel worse. It just sadly seems like there are more of them around lately.
