There is still no EVIDENCE that "passing people on the street" is a risk. All the risk factors I have read so far indicate that being INSIDE in a crowded closed environment (such as a church, lift, taxi, bar, restaurant, work etc) or LIVING with someone pose the greatest risks. So far I have not read of anyone who got it "passing someone in the street". Put another way, the extensive contact tracing were not tracing people passed on the street - only people in close proximity for 15-30 mins (depending on which jurisdictions tracing you look at).
It really is critical to identify if this is true or not. The microdroplet experiment linked on here a week or so back was one of the most insightful I have seen; and that indicated that opening a window pretty much eliminated the risk quickly. Pretty sure being outside is better than opening a window in terms of particle dispersal and evaporation of any kind of droplet or even aerosol.
Sure, if they got to the park by riding a bus or metro with other people - I agree. Don't do it. But if they drove their in their own car, or walked, then the only issue as far as I can see is "simplicity of message" - that is - it's easier to enforce a simple "stay at home" message than a complex message. Or put another way - it's easier to treat people as sheep
Very odd. I swear they were closed on Sunday and shelves/fridges were all empty apart from the wine.Original Post Deleted

https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/compone...2-20200407.htmHealth officials said on Tuesday that officials had mixed up two family members and had taken a man to hospital to be isolated instead of his son who was the one who had actually tested positive for Covid-19.
This is the golden part of the above article...
