Letter: Mouth-breathing joggers, mask up or stay off narrow paths

Wear a mask

The Editor,

My friend, who is has health issues and must use a scooter, just brought to my attention that people jogging should avoid narrow sidewalks for their exercise routine. 

The jogger is breathing heavily, with an open mouth, and someone in a scooter or wheelchair (and sitting at a lower elevation) will be in the path of their out-breath, and unable to do anything about it. 

Please remind joggers to find a place that has more open space, and to use a mask for more congested areas.
