This is genuinely infuriating. We should be *encouraging* people to take advantage of the vast open spaces that beaches offer, and provide proper guidance and rules for ancillary activities (like indoors dining!) that are actually unsafe.https://twitter.com/DiseaseEcology/status/1295598186375987203 …

Remarkable! The insistence on visual misinformation knows no boundaries in its targets. This is not harmless: countries and states are still closing beaches and parks: possibly the safest outdoors activities. People’s health will be worse off, plus the alternative is... indoors.pic.twitter.com/EnzK8Y0KYU

Doctors in the front lines keep telling us how low-wage “essential” workers are the majority of victims. Statistic show black and Hispanic people are disproportionately dying, getting infected at work. This? Actively erasing the real victims and misinforming us! ht

The article itself in
@bopinion. talks about parties and indoors gatherings. The picture? A safe beach! We don't know of any beach outbreaks. If people are getting infected in activities around beaches (indoor parties or restaurants?) then let's talk about that. ht@sillygwailopic.twitter.com/pwo13UDlgQ

One of the most thoughtful academics on this,
@jljcolorado writes a long article making the case for aerosol transmission, *emphasizing* how outdoors is much safer and that's part of the evidence. Then he has to go back and have the picture changed because.. yeah, you guessed it.pic.twitter.com/sCdb6d30CL

I keep thinking we can't reach further heights of absurdity on media visual misinformation, but I keep being proven wrong. The former director of the CDC wrote an excellent article on masks. First, the photo for the article—perhaps most important lever for impact. Next, the text.pic.twitter.com/ISi7Zpz5lI

Also important: there are a lot of examples of media going out of their way to falsely represent beaches as crowded through use of lenses and angles. All that despite being outdoors much safer and completely inappropriate to represent high-risk for COVID. https://twitter.com/sarahtakesfotos/status/1299870154105389056 …

If you read the article itself in the New York Times, you see this beach photo but you'd learn that *indoor* nightclubs in Spain were allowed to remain open till 5a before the 2nd wave. Also street cleaning is theater. (They do have *one* ER photo for a change!) ht

Replying to @zeynep @artur0castro
Street cleaning is usualy to clean the urine... It's common that people piss on the street when they drink too much.

then it probably doesn't make sense in this article, where it might be read as anticovid meassures

Yeah, what is it doing in the article, then?
