I'm dismayed we're still seeing this kind of evidence-free shaming a year into the pandemic.
Individuals and small household groups walking around in parks, fully distanced is ... not how it spreads.
There's absolutely no evidence for it, but the myth has somehow stuck around. https://twitter.com/thegarance/status/1353347504650260485

We have detailed contact tracing research showing that transmission is almost 20x lower outdoors than in https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.28.20029272v2
We have mobility data showing that individual behaviour and adherence to guidance remain very good on the whole, while it's workplaces where activity looks on the high side
We even have a huge outbreak of 500 cases in a government agency's offices.

There's nothing pointing to mask-free walks in the park keeping the virus circulating.
It's a Covid-safe activity that also boosts physical and mental health. Go out and enjoy the snow, folks. It's perfectly safe! https://twitter.com/mccanner/status/1353338083538829314

It genuinely baffles me. There's just zero concern for science and evidence. It's become a kind of piety contest.
"I went to get vaccinated today, but the nurse had a stray hair sticking out under their protective cap so I walked straight out. It was like they wanted me to die."

And for those wondering how the calculus changes for more transmissible variants, @mugecevik has yet another magnificent thread here collating and summarising the research https://twitter.com/mugecevik/status/1348771251758784517
