“Is he an idiot?”
No. He is correct. Wearing a mask prevents a healthy person getting fresh air.
The point of getting outside and going to the beach is to get fresh air. Seeing people outside wearing masks is silly and goofy. I see some people where masks while driving a car. Doh! Just open the window.
Well of course people don’t need to wear masks at the beach or other outdoor areas. But masks make sense at the supermarket, where the purpose of the masks is to prevent the infected from spraying their virus all over everything.
Really, people, this is not rocket science.
