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.

This can't be that hard to understand. It's not that going outside is more risky, but rather that people who go outside tend to also enter enclosed space with people of other groups. It's about maintaining small exposure capsules.

Are you serious? We have police patrolling our parks scolding people and sometimes even issuing citations. Düsseldorf issued an ordinance forbidding people to spend time on park benches on the banks of the Rhine.

In fact, it’s technically illegal to be *stationary* anywhere outside in Bavaria. You can only “exercise” outside (one of only five or six reasons you can go outside at all)

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.

Highly recommend you read this: https://samharris.org/to-profile-or-not-to-profile/ … It may seem offtopic, but it actually explains quite well why crude policies are sometimes the only viable option.

hey, no need to be so snippy. I feel like you're not arguing in good faith. not everybody is aware of the failures of nuanced public policies that allow for discretion by enforcers. you don't need to be offended if someone suggest you read something you've already read. see ya.
