I find that a bit inconsiderate of our fellow human beings.

I've been fully vaccinated but not everyone that wants to has been able to. Once you are vaccinated, you can still contact the virus and spread it. In light of that, I will continue to wear a mask and distance myself while indoors in public places. I do this not for me but for those around me.

I will not however fall for the hysteria that seems to be around about people outdoors. From the beginning Dr Fauci and other leading experts have agreed that the chances of contracting this virus outdoors is pretty close to zero. I think that there has been a big learning curve for Fauci and other experts but they have been consistent on this point from day one. Why they continue to insist on people wearing masks outdoors is beyond me. It's probably that they are trying to get people to be super, super careful and they want to cover their butts in the event that someone does catch it while outdoors.

I don't wear a mask out doors because it seems to me to be absurd. I know that a large number of people have gotten this virus and a large number have died from it but in terms of percentages the numbers are really very low. The chance of catching Covid is very low to begin with and the chance of catching it outdoors is very close to zero.
