A lot of trouble originated in advice being adjusted to market availabilities rather than science (e.g. don't recommend masks so people wouldn't stockpike them)

> If outsides are so safe why are curfews still a popular measure? I think California's curfew in the fall was later seen as ineffective. Why are they popular? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politician%27s_syllogism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politician%27s_syllogism

Yeah, people believe B117 still transmits via aerosols, not fomites. If so, how could you possibly transmit it if you aren’t breathing while hugging? The curfew’s intention is to block people from having social gatherings. You can’t so easily go to dinner at a friend’s if you have to sleep over for the night, and all the stores are closed to buy stuff.
