Am I missing something here? (re: reopening of bars, etc... now)

Part of the trouble with providing clear guidance on that is that knowledge of how transmission of this specific disease works is taking, not surprisingly, some time to develop; and so the guidance has to change accordingly with the knowledge. But information online stays there, and those reading it don’t always check the date; and all too many people interpret changes in advice as meaning just ‘they don’t know what they’re talking about’, no matter how evidence-based such changes are.

But some of the problem, as has been noted, is deliberate spreading of misinformation; and failure to publicize accurate information.

But I think an equally disturbing problem is that critical and independent thinking has seemed really frowned upon throughout all this, or at least it has if it runs in a certain direction. That’s the part that I don’t think will wear well over time.
