      If this is what outdoor masking & distancing looks like in London I think I’ve figured out why their pandemic is out of controlhttps://twitter.com/mccanner/status/1353338083538829314 …

      I don't see any concern with that picture.

      Is there any evidence that over-precaution in somewhat crowded outdoor spaces is correlated with adequate precaution in indoor spaces? I feel silly masking on walks in D.C. but feel like that ritual makes it psychologically easier to avoid riskier situations.

      There is no harm in over-precaution if you feel comfortable, and it can be a form of courtesy. There is increasing evidence and reasons to believe that the misdirected and excessive shaming over low to no-risk activities is increasing fatigue with sensible, warranted precautions.

          I think this is especially true of CA - essentially driving people indoor in a state where outdoor living is easy.
