And more so, there are a fuckton of other places aside from the US that are handling this poorly to say the least.

I wasn't specifically criticising the US's handling of the pandemic in my previous comment to be honest so I don't what this is about.

Get off your high horse. Being outside an nowhere near anyone without a mask is not endangering anyone.

I didn't say it did at any point. I'm saying it's absolutely frowned upon in lots of places, it will get you fined and it's not normal to see someone without a mask on. It's just safer if people have a simple rule to follow, it's not because it's necessarily dangerous to be outdoors without a mask.

It's why we have speed limits, most people would be able to figure out when it's dangerous on their own but you have to make the rule for the jackass that thinks it's ok to get close to a crowd without a mask because they're outdoors.
