Since day one, @zeynep has been right about COVID. It’s easy to say big outdoor gatherings (rallies, protests, concerts) are superspreader events. (I’m guilty too.) But the data just don’t support that. Instead, it’s the everyday indoor stuff we don’t see that’s killing people.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1363491410075389962 …

After a year of effort, I know of very, very few documented cases of purely outdoor transmission—and those took work: lengthy, close contact, huffing and puffing from a close distance—let alone superspreading. Good to be reasonably cautious, but not high on my risk calculations.

I’m 100% in agreement about parks (since last March). People need sunlight and physical activity. Normal outdoor activity is so low risk. (Sitting at an outdoor cafe for two hours talking is a different matter.)
