Inconsiderate people are real. Just don't be one. Ever notice how here in the TV people park!? Abuse handicap spots, 5alk loudly on cell phones at the pool. Let their dogs off leash at mail stations or poop on your lawn. Add your own experiences.. No one has taught them the world does not revolve around them.. As long as you had a proper 3 ply mask on you were fine. No mask on correctly? You put yourself at risk. They had masks on? No problem Mask, six feet or more if Both have No mask.. I wear the Mask to protect me. If it helps you that is a bonus. My wellbeing is most import to Me.

Paranoia and fear, presented by the media and served warm to those who believe. Kool aid anyone?

I would suggest that you do a little research on what a mask does and does not do for you. It's akin to using condom from a box that was invaded by a family of porcupines

Same thing happened to me in December when there was a bigger crowd than usual for tree lighting. Even though there's always clear announcements at the squares to stay at least 6 feet away from people because of Covid, some people just choose to disregard it and blame the people who are trying to be responsible by saying "go home". Like others have said, there will always be disrespectful people around so I'm always ready to move away from them. No need to try to reason with selfish, clueless a-holes.

I politely asked him to move back and give me at least six feet of space. Then, even worse, a youngish woman decided to leave the venue, and rather than leave at the designate entrance/exit point, she tiptoed along the little stream on the side of the square, and pushed the plastic guard chain aside, so she could squeeze in front of us and go on her merry way. Another close encounter of less than three feet! I was less polite with her. Two very nerve wracking encounters in less than fifteen minutes. I guess we can't be safe anywhere as long as there are folks around who won't respect others. Sad.
I'm happy you didn't go to Walmart on 466 yesterday! People walking around with masks on their chins. One older man had NO mask and was coughing up a lung!! No thanks, I won't be back there for a very long time!

If your still so paranoid you should just stay home! First of all you can’t hide from a virus! Also lock downs and masks obviously are useless. We are sick of living in fear of a virus that is over
99% + survivable. We know from CDC that less than 10% of death numbers were of Covid only! Those of us that are out and about are choosing to live life. If we get Covid we will deal with it.

So, you think the only place you will run into chin masks and no masks is Walmart on 466? Where will you shop instead? Do you think it will be different in the alternative store? Good Luck!!!!!

Then why would you post that you wear a mask to protect yourself?????
Surely you (should) know that a mask offers minimal to no protection for the wearer.
You (should) also know that your best defense is social distancing

So just what kind of "health care professional" are you?????

I thought that if YOU wear a mask you're protected🤔.

Tell that to the loved ones of the 350,000 people who have already died from COVID19.
