Yes. That alone should be reason enough to wear a mask in stores, etc. Be considerate, no matter whether you 'believe' in masks or not. Could be so simple.
--- Quote ---On the streets I see people both ways. But it's never difficult to get six feet or more away from others. So I don't wear a mask myself when walking my dog.

There's no advice about masks on the streets, so (almost?) nobody wears them on the street. I also don't wear one when walking my dog. I live rural and am out in the fields in two minutes.
In stores however, they're mandatory and it's against the law not to wear them.

My neighborhood is residential, with yards, sidewalks, boulevards, wide streets, bike lanes, etc., so it's completely easy to socially distance; people frequently start walking in the middle of the street. Within five minutes from here are a creek, two lakes, and parks in every compass direction. Besides, I rarely pass more than 6-10 people on my walks. Still, I do see a few people wearing masks when they're not remotely close to anybody. They're usually older and may have other health conditions.
As you get closer to downtown, the streets are more congested. They're denser and busier, if you're walking you're passing people constantly, there's no yard to step up in, and veering into the street isn't an option. In those sorts of neighborhoods I see many more people masking at every age. Many people, especially young adults and old adults, like that denser development, as do I myself. I wonder if that will change.

Well, there are stories circulating now about 8 Trump staffers that were at the Tulsa event testing positive for Covid-19.

After almost three weeks without any new Corona case in my county plus the two neighboring counties, we're back to one new case. This sh*t ain't over yet. :(

All our new cases are from New Zealanders returning home. They all have to spend 14 days in a guarded hotel. More and more are returning because they think back home is safest even if they have made a life overseas. However I think my vague plans to visit Australia (I have the credit with the airlines) in late September are less and less likely.
