LETTER: Masks should be worn outside

With the advent of new variants, social distancing and mask wearing is critical. This should also be the case for all outdoor activity. I cannot tell you the number of times, when I, fully masked, have encountered mask-less walkers, joggers, and cyclists who have forced me onto the road because they refuse to provide at least six feet of distance.

Come on people, we are living through a once-in-a-generation pandemic. Show some common sense, courtesy, and respect for those of us who are doing more than our part in combating this dreadful scourge. Wear masks outside, please.
