Masks Outdoors Can Be Left Alone

NYTimes newspaper opinion piece roughly sums up the evidence that masks are not needed outside when working, walking, and talking in fresh air.

This is another public service anouncement reiterating our recommendations from last year to be very careful indoors, use masks responsibly, and get outside for fresh safe air whenever possible. We continue to beg our patients and members of our community to both take this virus seriously and also to not panic either.

For our patients who do not believe there is a pandemic, we love you, we respect you, and yet please believe that you can be wrong.

For our patients who lean towards Elon Musk's description of public health dictators, please stop discriminating against members of our community who have followed all of the latest science from the very beginning of this awfully serious pandemic we have had.
