In this thread someone asks "What are HNers planning to do for the holidays?"
This is a fabulous question for online social media: when you go out it can seem like everyone is flouting the rules, no one is being careful, and you're the only one. This is largely because you don't see the people who are being careful because they are staying in so there's a massive bias towards careless, selfish jerks when you go out.
If you want to promote Covid safety, ask this question about holiday plans on Facebook, Twitter, whatsapp, or whatever social network you use. Or a more general question: "How are you/your family staying safe from Covid?"
This question brings everyone who is staying safe out of the shadows and into view, and all the sudden rather than feeling like you're "the only one" being careful, you realize you're in very good company. It's great to show other people as well. So if you want to "do something," start discussions on social media about what people are doing to stay safe!
