I literally Googled “George Floyd protests Minneapolis” and took the first image that came up. Based on photos I saw at the time and the reports of friends and colleagues who attended the protests, the peaceful daytime protesters were almost all mask-wearing, but not socially distanced at all. As the protests veered into anarchy in the late evenings and nighttime, mask wearing predictably dropped.
Most of my outdoor activity is biking or cross country skiing in the woods, by myself or with a few others. I am mostly (but not always) more than six feet away from everyone else, and nobody wears masks. I can’t do it. I’ve tried and as soon as I get my heart rate up even a little, I feel like I am suffocating. So I suppose I am taking some chances, but none of the limited group of people I bike or ski with has gotten COVID, and I actually feel more at risk fully-masked in the grocery store.
