Your interventions seem to be based on the idea aerosols accumulation doesn’t matter much. My current assumptions is that aerosols accumulation matters a lot for COVID-19. This means that when indoors ventilation and running air filters is important and plausibly more important then masks/distance.
More dakka with airfilters is an option if you are worried about transmission when hosting a party.
When it comes to masks it’s worth noting that different masks provide different protection. The study in military recruits suggests that while cloth masks might reduce your chances to spread the disease they don’t reduce your change of getting infected.
Thanks. I’d say that my interventions are based on the assumption that I can’t personally do much to impact aerosol accumulation in the indoor events I want to attend. I think that I may be underestimating the extent to which I can influence / screen for that (and perhaps overestimating the efficacy of masks and distancing indoors), so thanks for raising this.
When taking an Uber, it’s quite easy to say “Hey, I want to have the windows open”.
You likely won’t get a quantity of air filters that makes an indoors event like an outdoor event outside of a meeting between rationalists, but you can still voice the preference to open windows at many events.
