While I admit maintaining 6 feet from people not from your household is pretty ridiculous, masking does make sense.
Fallout inhaled is a long-term health threat. Alpha emitters are mostly harmless unless they get inside of you. Radioactive dust and debris in your lungs is bad. And dust masks, while ineffective against virii, ARE effective against, well, dust.
