Almost all Corona infections happen indoors, and yet every country enamoured of mass containment insists that people spend inordinate amounts of time indoors and places heavy restrictions on going outside.

Look, I'm just trying to explain why crude, inefficient policies get enforced. You can argue that strip searching grandma at the airport is dumb, but no one would argue it's not. You have to come up with alternative policies that prevent planes from exploding. Not easy.
no, you started out arguing that regulations against going outside were actually regulations against travelling to other indoor spaces. when I pointed out that this is explicitly not the case, you shifted gears to strip searching old women.

regulations against going outside have not had any meaningful impact on Corona mortality, so I’m not sure what alternative policies are called for. how about ‘none’
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

you misunderstood. my point was that having a policy of "don't go outside unless you only go outside and not enter any other space and don't stay too close to too many people" is not enforceable. nuance is impossible with public policy. hence it's just "don't go outside".

you are inventing a rationale for German containment policies that the policies themselves do not have.
