I find myself in the same position as many of my friends: totally in favor of wearing masks indoors or in very crowded outdoor areas but annoyed by the mask police.

I find it unseemly when reporters scold ordinary people who don’t wear masks. I don’t like men screaming at my wife that she should wear a mask walking through mostly empty outdoor botanical gardens. And I think the “Wear A Mask!” calls should offer some nuance: “Wear a mask when in indoor public places, or in very crowded outdoor places!”
