None at all. I’ve taken to getting my daily exercise in the early morning and late evening just to avoid talking to/arguing with my neighbors/the busybody brigade. The fact that I walk well out into the street when there aren’t any cars keeping roughly 15 to 30 feet from just about anyone and line of sight on everyone around me does not change this.

These are people that have been manipulated and fixed with beliefs inserted into their reptile brain. This is not the neocortex speaking - arguing on the basis of reason (pointing to a study) will not convince them that a mask is unnecessary away from people, in a field or outdoors. They must be engaged in the same way they were manipulated - by appealing to emotion. It's a tough nut to crack.
