I can’t help wondering whether you bothered to read that link. If you did, the nuances of it have clearly gone over your head.
Here’s a choice quote:
Quote:
Mark Woolhouse, professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh, told the Science and Technology Committee: “Over the summer we were treated to all this on the television news and pictures of crowded beaches, and there was an outcry about this.
“There were no outbreaks linked to crowded beaches, there’s never been a Covid-19 outbreak linked to a beach ever anywhere in the world to the best of my knowledge.”

When an epidemiologist talks in terms of “outbreak” he’s thinking in terms of significant levels of transmission, not whether a single person has ever caught a particular infection in a particular location. I’d like to think you understood that and were being provocative for purposes of lively debate.
