      Needs to be some sort of automated online database of news agencies trying to paint beach-going as some sort of immoral, evil, risky public health disaster, when all the evidence points to spaced, outdoor beach environments as extremely low-risk. @zeynep can't collate it allhttps://twitter.com/AFP/status/1303302070724952064 …

      Welp, the problem comes when people don't practice safe distancing. The lake of the ozarks seeded covid cases all over the state of Missouri after Memorial Day.https://abcnews.go.com/US/lake-ozarks-memorial-day-partygoer-tests-positive-covid/story?id=70968298 …

      It actually did not, as far as public health officials can tell, despite being obviously an unadvisable event. That's the problem, media rarely follows up with facts.

          This happened in Australia too. Attendees of BLM protests who contracted COVID19 previously or afterwards were featured in stories headlined "COVID19 CASE LINKED TO BLM PROTEST", without elaborating on that "linkage". As is the case above. https://ketanjoshi.co/2020/06/20/the-racist-response-to-anti-racist-protests-in-australia/ …pic.twitter.com/vSfalbrowx
