Particulates are bad, so while a mask outdoors may not matter for pandemic, it may be more than absolutely pointless.

After almost two years of pandemic, there have been essentially no examples of documented spread of the virus outside (there have been a handful of examples in weird situations involving outdoor structures, crowds, etc., but these are the exception, not the norm).

You don't need to wear a mask outside. Not for a virus, anyway.
