@paulhellyer@mastodon.nz yes we were lucky. Funny, at the pharmacy yesterday getting my vaccines, the little booth was filled with old posters about social distancing. While quaint, both this and hang washing are outdated advice now we know the virus is an aerosol. And today Covid19 continues to kill people and disable large numbers, at this point unencumbered by the latest evidence on prevention.

@Torithom@theforkiverse.com I vividly recall in the very days of COVID having a bottle of light antiseptic spray by the front door so we could spray courier parcels before bringing them inside for fear of getting the virus! Then, as you say, hand washing became outdated advice. So the government followed the science, adapted the messages to the true nature of the virus, and we adapted our behaviours accordingly.
