      What happens when public health is driven by outrage and scolding, rather than evidence: We opened indoor restaurants and bars (both are high-risk!) but are closing down beaches that provide a safer outlet for people and support mental and physical health.https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1279429637207138307 …

      This is terrible. We are many months in, and we know of many *actual* super spreader events. They are not happening outdoors. If the party afterwards is the concern, yes, let’s focus on warning people not to do that—not ban the less risky part of the day. https://twitter.com/antiqueseahorse/status/1279450604646080512 …

      Exactly. The virus may be out-of-sight when we don’t have the indoor pictures—but it’s still spreading, and more effectively. If we’re worried people are going to bars later, let’s tell the truth and close down the bar. Public health thrives on real talk.https://twitter.com/justthefacts37/status/1279457213401178113 …

      So many beaches in Florida are closed today, needlessly People are either going to crowd together at the ones that are open, or just congregate together in smaller, perhaps indoor, environments Counterproductive

      Many problems with the unscientific scolding of beach and park-goers. Indoor restaurants? No way. But if everything appears equally bad and banned, people will break the rules as they see fit rather than in an evidence-based way. We’re all worse off.

      Public health can’t function assuming people don’t notice what’s actually going on. Remember how we screwed up the masks? Officials told us they were not useful, or even harmful, but we later learned all that was motivated by the shortage. Way to lose trust. Tell the truth.

      It’s six months in. There are many papers studies and examples. Beaches and parks aren’t the high-risk settings. “What why can’t people just stay home?” Not everyone has space or a backyard. Outdoors is good for physical and mental health. Wind and sunshine reduce risk.

      And all those distorted photo angles, the lenses that make it look more crowded than it actually is? Way to lose trust and messaging power. My mentions are full of people telling me a ventilator is waiting for me. Unscientific scaremongering doesn’t have potency though.

      The epidemic devastates nursing homes, prisons, meat-packing plants. Epidemiologists find big clusters from indoor restaurants, bars, weddings. But where is this "grim reaper" dude and his retweets? Yeah, who you gonna believe, your lying eyes or the baseless scaremongering?pic.twitter.com/s71xxrNwOi

      We cannot win against an epidemic if we cannot get the messaging right. A pandemic is a communication emergency. We need the full truth not the paternalism we got about masks; we need guidance about relative risk not scaremongering about beaches.

      What on earth does that very sparsely populated, vast beach have anything to do with this headline? Why are people still sharing these images? After months of epidemiological data showing the overwhelming importance of *indoor* transmission, this is straight up misinformation.pic.twitter.com/5Sb3DAX9yJ

      Politicians have to look like they are doing something. Close the beaches, even if scientifically it makes less sense, the economic hit isn’t as hard. Close bars/restaurants and it “looks like” you’re shutting down the economy. Follow the money not the logic.

          Yes. This is why in the fall I fear we may find ourselves in a bizarro world where bars and gyms are open but schools are closed.
