Should we have a mask mandate? Yes. This should have happened a long time ago
Those arguing that outdoor transmission is far less than indoor as a reason against a mandate are often in my experience the same people who don’t wear masks in either location

2/ For what it’s worth, I agree that outdoor transmission is far less than indoor— the data suggests this. Yet— I have encountered a number of people that happily mask outdoors to show others, but don’t when they are indoors at work etc— this is problematic.
3/ The least likely place to mask is probably inside one’s own home, yet we know that indoor transmission in households is relatively higher than in other locations. Ultimately, the safest bet is when you are outside your “bubble”, you stay masked unless completely alone outside
4/ My point isn’t to scare anyone, especially not re outdoor transmission, which we believe is several fold less than indoor. And transiently passing people on the street is not how this virus seems to be spreading. But, we are missing the mark on masks still and time is up.
