Oh I agree! Just feel they could have done better. An example, once they knew the virus was aerosolized, I heard *once* a person explain aerosols could be thought to move like cigarette smoke. People have an intuitive sense of how smoke fills a room, and how important ventilation is etc. Another was an article in Washington Post (and no where else) where they broke down what made an effective cloth mask, that you couldn’t see light through it and that if you inhaled/exhaled deeply you couldn’t feel much air movement outside the mask. They also said two layers of tight woven cotton and one of a non woven with some more specifics of materials… back when people were still wearing bandanas and gaiters. Messaging like that would not have been hard, but would have added a lot of clarity.
