There was a time when it would have seemed reasonable for say, grocery stores (as opposed to beaches). (Although I might be overestimating traffic around the time of the panic buys of toilet paper, I don’t know whether it was higher or if people just bought way more.)
I wonder why it seems more unthinkable for schools to be outside than to shutdown or be online. (I’ve never thought about this before, but why are roofs rarely designed to be used? Is it cost* or custom?)
*Obviously that tradeoff looks slightly different now.

Classes were, in fact, held outside during the 1918 pandemic.
And yet today (and throughout 2020) they are either ‘at home’, ‘open’ or ‘closed’, instead of being held outside.
The failure to pick off low hanging fruit is inexcusable .
