      Outdoors is very low risk. Take care, obey the rules, but ignore the shaming of people who are literally doing a safe thing for recreationhttps://twitter.com/adamseconomics/status/1436537623804211201 …

      If nothing else, every person in shot appears socially distanced, even those on the beach if you correct for the view 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

          We had the same issues during our lockdown. Empowering people to do the right thing and giving alternatives is important. Also the counter factual of gathering outdoors is …https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2021/04/12/why-we-need-to-change-the-narrative-on-outdoor-transmission.html …

          And it's probably taken with a zoom lens too, which just flattens everything...

          This is a classic telephoto lens shot that makes people appear closer together than they really are, used by journalists to create scare stories. Not saying this isn't a risky situation, but I see a lot of photos like this.

          They did the exact same thing in England. Lots of shots to make people look squashed together, and many old photos reused. So sad that people are getting angry at this and not the socio-economic drivers of transmission.

          Bondi Beach is 1500m long by about 50m wide. That's 75000 sq m. If each person sat in a box 1.5m by 1.5m (2.25sqm)so that no neighbour was less than 1.5m away, there could be more than 30,000 such people on the beach socially distanced.
