I understand he is trying to get his message across and I really appreciate that but do it so people can understand that if you are no where near anyone in an outdoor space, masks are not necessary.
I understand he was trying to send a message---actually several messages. One was to encourage the use of a mask, another to differentiate himself from his predecessor. But to present the message in an absurd way just minimizes it. It's like filming a PSA about seatbelt use by showing a driver in a parked car or about STDs showing a condom used as a water balloon.
