Please post the "medical science" that determined it's beneficial to wear a mask while riding a bike outside with no one around?
Why do you think it's beneficial to wear a mask while outswide with no one around? It must be your idea, since there aren't any liberals saying something that stupid.
Should You Wear a Face Mask While Riding Your Bike? We Asked a Doctor Flynn
May 15, 2020·3 min read
The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommends that all Americans
wear cloth masks in public spaces to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. As a general rule, doctors suggest wearing a mask even
while you're exercising, and cycling is no exception.
Shoshana Ungerleider, MD, an internist at
Crossover Health in San Francisco and founder of
End Well, told POPSUGAR that wearing a mask while riding your bike is especially important in densely populated areas. "If you're biking in a city where others are around you, you should wear a mask," Dr. Ungerleider said. Keep more than
the standard six feet between you and others, and if you're ever feeling unwell, stay home.
"Breathing harder, like during exercise, may release more virus into the air as you're taking deeper and harder breaths," she said. This means it's possible that breathing during exercise causes more viral spread, especially if you're outside where the wind can blow, causing droplets to travel even further.
If you're biking in a more rural area where no one is around, it's safe to ride without a face covering, Dr. Ungerleider explained - but always bring a mask with you to have handy in case you cross paths with someone.
