and everyone here wears masks, inside anyplace and outside most places. Even the young kids wear masks when the are outside playing. Same at my town parks playground.

If I’m walking in my quite suburban neighborhood I don’t wear a mask, but always have it with me just in case. I wore it outside all the time in winter as it kept my face warm. I will be doing that from now on. It made a huge difference.
