It's midsummer in a pandemic, why not hold this entire ceremony in an appropriate outdoor setting?

"People are distancing" is not a magic talisman. We have overwhelming evidence now for aerial spread in just these kinds of poorly ventilated indoor spaces with a lot of unmasked talking.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/opinion/coronavirus-aerosols.html …

And of course Zeynep's great article today, which basically says "do not do any of what the John Lewis funeral is doing":https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/07/why-arent-we-talking-more-about-airborne-transmission/614737/ …

they are replacing the microphones in between every speech and everyone is at least six feet from speaker. not foolproof, sure. but not like they're taking no precautions either.
-
The precautions they're taking are ineffective. Six feet is not a magic number this airborne virus respects. Seehttps://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/07/why-arent-we-talking-more-about-airborne-transmission/614737/ …

They appear to be distancing, and I can’t tell for sure but looks like anyone not speaking is masked up.
-
That is the opposite of what needs to happen, you want the mask on the speaker, and distancing in these indoors settings with prolonged speaking is no effective defense. See this very good article:https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/07/why-arent-we-talking-more-about-airborne-transmission/614737/ …
