The eventual themes of the pandemic rules have been:
- reduce contact number and contact duration
- outdoor is safer than indoor*
- virus spreads quicker where there is projection which is why singing/shouting is bad and masks are good**
- greater compliance when there is a perception we're all in it together
*There was a really slow recognition that indoor can be made safer with good ventilation. It continues to be too slow.
** For whatever reason the initial advice was anti-masks. Was that bad science or wanting to avoid the cost?
It's perceived likely that we'll have a third wave.
Why no aggressive re-opening with vaccine roll-out?
