The QLD Chief Health Officer answered 100 questions in today's Courier Mail. Among them were "Do I have to wear a mask in my yard?" Answer: No. "Do I have to wear a mask mowing the lawn or checking the mail?" Answer: Yes.
But my prize goes to:
98 Do I need to wear a mask while riding a motorcycle?
Yes.
:crackup

No surprises there for diligent Qlder's. Our infamous Deputy Premier, Dr Steven Miles, told us last year that not all health directives were not based on scientific evidence. And that was BEFORE the election in October. So, NOT wearing a mask in MY yard is OK as long as I'm not pushing a mower?? And I have to wear a mask while riding a motorcycle or while being alone in my own vehicle. :crazy I'm trimmed a hedge at the front of my house this morning, without a mask, but I didn't know the rules. :phone

The idea is it is one simple rule:
You wear a mask while off your property, or physically exerting outside, (i.e. lawn mowing), and only take it off when you get home.
The wind can take your moist air expulsions onto/into your neighbours yard, and vice versa.

Long stretch there I think Gadget. Collecting my mail? Riding a motorcycle? I wear a full face helmet. Isn't that 'face mask' enough? Anyway, I'm not planning to go anywhere for leisure, but I am an essential working within the public transport sector and have continued to front up for work since the beginning of the covid era. Be personally responsible and diligent, but advice like this, is now becoming a joke. Decisions such as this should only be based on scientific evidence, not some 'seems like a good idea at the time' mentality or an 'off the cuff' answer to an on the spot question.

It is simple, Masks work.
While collecting your mail at the boundary, a jogger huffing and puffing virus cells, can run past you, even up up to 15 minutes earlier, and give you the virus.
The chief medical officer has decades of knowledge in this topic, and I defer to that.
The idea is to not have exceptions, be because human nature of some is to try and exploit exemptions.
It's like getting into the habit of taking your own shopping bags to the shops, you get into the habit of masking up at the door.
Mask it, or Casket.

++. Well said. I am amazed by the number of people not wearing masks or not wearing them properly.

At least ol' Dan didn't make us wear a mask while riding a motorcycle! :popcorn
