Maybe I misread the conclusion of the study, but it seems obvious that presenting pictures of beaches next to coronavirus articles is going to create a negative association (overestimation of risk) with beaches.

It brings to mind the guy who stalked beaches in Florida with the reaper outfit. It’s absurd and foolish in retrospect. Especially now that sunlight seems to be proving to be extremely potent at deactivating the virus.

I suspect the larger issue is that most people overestimate their risk of severe illness wrt sars-cov-2 more generally beyond the risk of catching it in specific places, and would be interested in seeing any work around assessing that.

So basically you have no direct evidence, this is biased supposition.

There was the study recently that found sunlight is 8x more effective than believed at destroying the virus.

It certainly makes one question the benefit of mandating everyone inside.

Humans are social creatures as the result of millions of years of evolution.

There’s profound effects when facial social cues are erased and people are widely deprived of socialization.

When it first starts it’s a powerful way to silence people and defame them, but it seems like it’s slowly losing currency.

Normal people notice that it’s a blunt weapon more than serious advocacy for the marginalized.

Don’t waste your breath, there’s an irascible mindset that will never admit the grave errors, hubris and self-confident presumptions of the past year.
