@augieray Outdoor activities are fine, when possible. But it's not realistic or fair to ask people to give up crowded bars, performances, parties, sporting events, classes, conferences, religious worship... Forever. Being in crowds all sharing the same experience is fundamental to human culture in a way that bench seats and tobacco are not. Staying home for months is likewise *painful* for people, something we can successfully impose only briefly & in emergencies. But COVID is here to stay, now.
