Wearing masks outside when you are not close to someone from outside your bubble isn't necessary. The virus needs close human contacts for several minutes to spread successfully. On the outside you have wind and other positive factors.

There have been plenty of reports of infection with far less than a few minutes of close contact. Proximity to a single cough can do it.
