Yeah, I can see the argument for places like SF. Where I am there are lots of areas where you can easily maintain 10+ feet separation, yet the city explicitly changed the law from "masks outside when you can't distance" to "masks outside always".

Enforcing an absolute is much easier. In Singapore, you wear a mask at all times outside your home or face fines of up to $3000, with exceptions only for eating, drinking, and "strenuous exercise".

Another thing: (that also pisses me off when I see it) is watching people constantly touch their masks (unsafe), taking them on and off every few minutes when they're about to pass someone, occasionally putting them on quickly by _holding their hand on the front of the mask pushing it against their mouth_
