Most participants were wearing masks in those previous protests. And the recent celebrations in the streets were mostly mask wearers. Be interesting to see what happens after last Saturdays protests of mainly unmasked participants.

I’m sorry but there were not many masks worn at the protests I had seen and even when they had them they were pulled down because they were yelling and screaming uncontrollably.

Masks have been mandated today, per Governor Sununu.

Lets be a little more clear...masks are mandated when social distancing can't be maintained (Edited to add:in outdoor settings)

"The mandate applies to all indoor public spaces, in addition to outdoor spaces when social distancing cannot be maintained, according to Sununu."

I read that as all the time while inside public spaces and outside only when not physically distant.

That is correct and the way I understand it. If your outside riding your bike or hiking through the woods you would not need a mask... If walking through the mall of NH you would!

Many people have missed the larger point. Our healthcare systems have a limited capacity. Each hospital room requires a certain amount of trained health professions, which are a limited resource. When a hospital is forced to reallocate its human resources to care for very ill covid patients, that means there are no staff left to take care of other emergencies.
The entire plea to slow the spread is to preserve the healthcare system and not burn out the finite healthcare workers.

For those that are selfish enough to ignore the request to wear a mask, just hope you do not come into ill health such as a heart attack or an accident where you need hospital care and you arrive to find they are full and not taking anyone!

Better yet, those who refuse to wear a mask, maintain social distancing and wash / sanitize their hands should "cowboy up" and NOT seek medical care if they contract covid-19.

In for a penny, in for a pound, right?

With 3 health care professionals in the family, this point nails the issue. All three are at or approaching burnout, being called in for extra shifts all the time, and getting pretty depressed because there is no end in sight and it's getting worse.

Fully Can understand for sure, and they need a break, and it depends on location. I have three family members in one hospital working ( a large one in the city of Boston) as of this morning they have 5 Covid cases in their Covid Ward.

Is there someplace one can read the official verbatim mandate? To me it is still ambiguous depending on commas, etc. I have looked at several news sources and can only find the news source’s interpretation. According to some reports if there is social distancing inside you would not need a mask.

I would assume the “real” mandate is written down somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you.

The mandate would seem to mandate requiring a mask, indoors or out, when you can’t social distance. So walking in a crowd out doors requires a mask if no social distancing as would walking into a restaurant with no distancing. There are a lot of exceptions and stipulations so you really need to read it if it is important to you.

I found out today about someone I know who visited her mother in Rhode Island recently, quarantined when she came back to NH, showed symptoms and tested positive. Just goes to show that someone dear to you can give it to you just as easily as a stranger. Gravy boat is right. We need to be smart about this and beat it. If we don’t learn from the past we are bound to repeat our mistakes.
