It’s been more than a year since I wrote my first article on why outdoors is much safer and we should open parks/beaches to help lessen deaths. Not a single known beach cluster. Outdoor transmission is very low outside of prolonged close contact—kinda how he harasses strangers.https://twitter.com/DWUhlfelderLaw/status/1388464992379445248 …

True, but we do know the crowded FL beach scenes led to/leads to increased transmission. I'll give you that normal beaching is just fine- which is why the ONE THING I did last summer was take my Little to our locals-only beach spot where there was plenty of distance.

No we don’t. If you mean auxiliary activities like indoor bars, by all means go there. Is there even a single beach transmission? That air and wind and UV? That space?

With respect, I'm not sure the bars are "auxiliary" to beach attendance.

Many beaches are in large cities where people live. If you want to advocate for closing bars, by all means. Go ahead. Harassing strangers engaging in the safest possible recreation in a pandemic because of assumed and not even mentioned auxiliary activity is harmful to health.

You can't make that statement
@zeynep - you've not provided any research that corroborates your opinion of it being "safest possible recreation", you claim it's "assumed harmful activity", yet your comment of it being safe is also "assumed"...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

You can’t prove a negative. I can’t prove it doesn’t spread at a beach other then point out there have been 0 confirmed cases of spread at the beach. Think of them as BLM protests. The virus doesn’t spread at them.

That's not proving a negative, she's made a claim and hasn't provided evidence.

It is so well-known that it is uncontroversial at this point. Here's an article I co-authored (peer-reviewed) and that has references. We used the upper upper boundary in the piece, but the raw numbers are between 0.1% to 1% for outdoors.https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1036 …

Ireland found about that number—0.1% of all transmission, maybe 1% if you assume undercounting. Most outdoor transmission cases are places like construction sites--prolonged close contact. I can't keep proving the most basic facts a google search away.https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40259441.html …
