If people came in a group.. Well, chase them off the park, they will be that group in a small apartment, less ventilation and less sunlight to kill the virus. Now everyone is worse off. We cannot enforce distancing for weeks without outlets. Outdoors is better than crammed flats.
Without outdoors, people& #39;s immunity will decline. Mental health is already a challenge, it will get worse. Plus, if people are in groups outdoors, that group will go back together to a cramped indoor place—so much worse for infection! Much better to enforce sane distancing/masks.
Cramming them indoors isn& #39;t better. We need people& #39;s cooperation. Authorities should consult with experts who understand how people work and the role of sunshine and ventilation in viral infection spread. Leaving people with no options makes things worse. https://twitter.com/FierceRobert/status/1246784829397426178">https://twitter.com/FierceRob...
This won& #39;t be just two weeks. Maybe we should start having that conversation honestly, too. If authorities are telling you in your country that we& #39;re indoors for two weeks and that& #39;s it, they are not telling you the truth. We may have a year ahead. https://twitter.com/mskathleenquinn/status/1246786836833472512">https://twitter.com/mskathlee...
Yes! Overzealous, unscientific and unsustainable rules will make cooperation less likely. Less sun and outdoors will make people& #39;s immune systems weaker. It& #39;s much harder for viruses to infect people in sunny, outdoor places compared to cramped indoors. https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1246788025515794435">https://twitter.com/Pinboard/...
Congregation and playdates: we have to convince people! Driving those indoors makes infections spread more, and we will all be locked down longer. I DO wish they didn& #39;t but we can only convince, not hide it from our view. Enforce distance/masks outdoors. https://twitter.com/LuciaParamita/status/1246788368853159936">https://twitter.com/LuciaPara...
Of course. Indoors is very conducive to infections spreading. We must provide least risk places for people to get fresh air. Us not seeing them congregate doesn& #39;t mean they won& #39;t just do it indoors. We need cooperation, not feel-good top-down authority. https://twitter.com/RealDemVoter1/status/1246789342795890688">https://twitter.com/RealDemVo...
Yeah, the pictures I saw were perfectly fine distancing, mostly small family groups. If that& #39;s what they shut down, they just made sure infections will go up as there will be less immunity without sun and outdoors and groups gathering indoors. https://twitter.com/KatyKiernan/status/1246790150061019136">https://twitter.com/KatyKiern...
Find the part I said anything wrong about the infectiousness part. (It& #39;s all correct and very very basic). But, it& #39;s the sociology of the situation I& #39;m talking about. Authorities are going to drive groups indoors—out-of-sight but more prone to infections. https://twitter.com/DarrenSugg1/status/1246792209233518592">https://twitter.com/DarrenSug...
