#2The Atlantic tries to churn moral panic 24/7, and now they are trying to also churn anti-moral panic?
Stop getting science advice from op-ed magazines! I sympathize with 100% of the Atlantic's political views and completely hate their desperate and misguided attempts to remain relevant.

Is it possible that the Atlantic employs multiple writers that don't all share the same set of opinions?

One could imagine that that might even be a good way to run a news paper.

#6The problem is all those people ALSO go somewhere else AFTER the beach.
Do they need to go to the bathroom? Do they all need gasoline for their cars? Snacks to go home? Are they all overloading the stores on the way out? Do they need to hit an ATM?
THAT'S where all the spread will occur. Especially amongst a bunch of entitled dipshits who also don't believe in wearing masks or washing hands.

#7Would be ok if everyone was wearing a mask. You go to the bathroom, cough cough, you go to the restaurant, cough cough, and you're driving back home with your friends in the car, cough cough. If we tried to reduce infection during these occasions, there maybe wasn't even a need for much lock-down.
Germany is about to get rid of wearing masks in stores. That's like turning off the firewall because the attack is over. It's preventive, so you need to wear a mask before sth happens.
I'd be very happy if there was an experiment, just for 4 weeks everybody should wear the damn mask both in private and public, and see what happens.
How can so many people fail to grasp the concept of prevention?

#8TL;DR: probably, as long as you maintain physical distancing.

It's just as likely they run op-eds from authors willing to have whatever opinion is necessary.
The business of op-ed and analysis pieces is pretty crappy, and it does not require any moral or intellectual honesty from the authors.

Wow, we’re really caught up in yelling at each other. Seems convenient for the people in charge of our response over the past six months and the organizations that have spent decades preparing for pandemics.
