I wonder if we are looking in the wrong places, schools pretending everything is normal and eat out to spread it are obvious failures, but do we understand why BLM protests, Brighton beach etc didn’t cause a blip in the figures, or do we just shrug and move on.
When we got released from lockdown, not a blip (which could make you question lockdown at all) we all started wearing masks and it didn’t slow anything, and timing wise could be interpreted as making things worse.
iIs it as simple as it doesn’t spread outdoors and social distancing works, because that’s what seemed the most effective. Unfortunately because we change the plan every three days we never get to learn from the effects of the measures we put in place.
