I always wear a mask indoors, almost never outdoors - only in a crowded setting, which doesn't come up that much. I am surprised that the rate in truly rural areas is as high as it is.
If you look at community you see this breakdown for always:
Urban 70%
Suburban 60%
Rural 50%
Of course Urban to Rural in most places runs from liberal to conservative, from minority-majority to majority white. But it also goes from very dense to not dense.
I live in a low density suburb of a major city. I never wear a mask when I walk the dogs or go for a run in my community as I never come within ten feet of anyone else. Never. Rarely do I come within 20 feet of someone else who would also be walking/running. Yet I am taking this pandemic extremely seriously. But wearing a mask when I am outdoors around nobody isn't protecting me or them.
I always wear a mask when I go into the gas station, the grocery store, or into the city. If I lived in the city I would wear a mask when walking the dogs or running.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
