How so? If there is little risk from passing someone outdoors then how is it anything but symbolism?

I think you're being overly generous when you're saying little risk. We're not talking about a pedestrian, we're talking about a cyclist. If a cyclist presents a risk of infecting others with COVID-19 beyond any other environmental risks that exist, then anything short of a Wuhan type lockdown with welded doors is insufficient.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I don't think even that would be sufficient.

I don't think they realize it, but those who wear masks just for symbolism when there is no reason to wear a mask give the impression that people pushing masks are just crazy.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I will take the description of generous as a compliment :)

When Corona exploded between Purim and pesach, everybody said we didn't see it coming.

Now that the snowball effect is known, how can the stupidity still exist? No wonder @ExGingi  hates collive, just read the garbage in the comments ;

"Virus mutated,  it's not so bad"

"Take vitamin c, d, zinc, ink blink!! It's fine!!"

Maybe people are watching and see it's not coming.

I never said I hate anyone. They are just banned (for a multitude of reasons).

As far as comments are concerned, IINM most Jewish news sites with a shred of dignity just removed the ability to comment.

I'm a cyclist. (non - spandex division). When you ride in the city, you are constantly stopping at red lights and such. So there is time then to be near people for a minute or so breathing heavily.

I have no idea what the likelihood of it spreading that way, though like most others I just line up single file at lights and keep my distance from people.

I think that the whole bicycle thing takes away from the bigger picture..

Being indoors for extended lengths of time.

Yeah one coffee shop had 50% capacity and social distancing indoors and You have to wear a mask whenever you were not sitting at your spot which I found was completely stupid.

I basically only eat outdoors SD or in my car.

I can see why the mikvah is an issue, It's a place where people historically have been talking in

What are you trying to say?

Cognitive dissonance?

In war, people just did their thing. And tried to live, But they never could explain why they survived and why others didn't

But now, it's just stupidity
