      The messaging from #LACounty is ridiculous. On the one hand, they opened up all of these restaurants for outdoor dining & made people feel like things are getting better- but they aren’t allowing outdoor TVs to play the Super Bowl? People are going to meet indoors instead...pic.twitter.com/1fLqaxzQZi

      2/ This is bad public health. It’s just like when beaches were closed during July 4th. We need to mitigate risk & create safe options for socialization - bc people have shown time & time again that they will socialize either way (not blaming them)

      3/ Alternatively they could have set up outdoor viewing sites at parks etc; created distanced pods— many ways to get creative here as was done in other places. But just assuming that people won’t congregate when they have been told it’s getting much safer now...?? #covid19

      4/ I completely respect the crowding situation that could occur— which is why outdoors + limited capacity + creative distancing measures would have been a better option. My concern is that the alternative- people throwing parties at home indoors- will be worse. #covid19

      Replying to @AbraarKaran @JuliaLMarcus

      Yeah. This is what happens when policy is oriented around sensibilities of visibility, rather than keeping people safer. Out of sight...
