More Mask Rules Coming?

 There is a discussion underway in Munich, being led by the Bavarian Prime Minister (Söder).

Various networks or publications around Bavaria this morning are talking over this idea.

He suggests that a mask requirement (for Covid-19), because of increasing numbers, should be implemented for public places....where the social distancing rules can't be seen/enforced.

Where exactly is he talking about?  Unknown.....he just threw this out there and folks are kinda asking where the rule would be enforce (city parks, city sidewalks, on a bench by your house, etc).

In general, across the nation, you have to wear a mask if inside of a building (shopping, railway stations, library, etc). On buses and trains?  Mandatory.

Hyping up people another notch?  Over the past month, I've walked around a couple of German towns, and it's obvious that people aren't wearing masks much while walking down the street, or sitting on a park bench, or while walking through a outdoor shopping district.  

Would they cooperate if you went to the next level?   I have my doubts that people would be supportive of this.  It's marginal enough, that people do this for bus and rail travel.....asking them to wear a mask while sitting park-bench probably won't sell.
