Can we please have a talk with the photo editors? ENOUGH WITH THE BEACH PICTURES ruining articles.
Beaches are one of the least risky environments. Indoor bars and restaurants. House parties. Indoor gatherings where unmasked people talk. Not beaches.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/25/us/coronavirus-cases-young-people.html …

Yeah, it's almost like they want to just keep publishing beach pictures! If it were 100s of pictures of risky indoor places and an occasional picture of a packed beach, we'd go meh, okay. Nothing is zero risk. But it's almost every article! Enough already.https://twitter.com/jaydeedubdesign/status/1276878111477583873 …

What more is there to say? Even places with *no beaches* (both in central Florida) get a beach picture to accompany reporting about increasing cases.
Again: it's a virus, not a religion. It's not going to disproportionately smite people who're having fun. ht @jaydeedubdesignpic.twitter.com/uIZ2i9LRqX

This photo is in an article in the Washington Post that has many reasonable and important points about unmasked crowding *indoors* in Myrtle beach. The caption? "Crowds pack the beach." Who you gonna believe, your lying eyes or the irresistible pull of misinforming moralizing?pic.twitter.com/9JtxUcU77n

At this point, this “grim reaper” beach performance isn’t about the pandemic or this virus. It’s straight up moralizing about sinful behavior. Terrible from a public health stand. Those people are not doing anything high-risk, as one’s own eyes can see.https://twitter.com/wjxtvic/status/1279087603862704128 …

Back in the 80’s during the height of HIV/AIDS the Catholic Church spent millions on messaging that stayed condoms don’t prevent the spread, only abstinence does. Do you think it stopped people from having sex or no? It’s amazing that we still haven’t learned.

It’s almost like telling someone that wearing a mask won’t stop the spread of respiratory droplets to others slowing the spread of coronavirus. That would be just crazy, wouldn’t it?

And it's actually better if younger people are a larger percent of covid cases.
