No difference at all. I'll be sure to stay away from my neighbor, and he has the freedom to stay away from me.

I have some first hand research on wearing masks in Boston. I have begun working from my office in Boston three days a week (Tuesday-Thursday). I walk from my apartment in Cambridge to my office, which is approximately 2.5 miles. Most people are wearing masks. (I wear a bandana so that I can breathe through my nose easier.) However, it appears that a very important demographic appears to be exempt from wearing masks -- homeless people. Walking along Cambridge Street where a lot of homeless people hang out near the Old West Church, and about 15 or so bums were there and not one of them were wearing masks. Went to lunch, same thing. Maybe I should dress the part so I can get a free pass too?!
