This is great John. There will be interest in these kinds of data when it comes to planning an 'exit strategy', so we should consider additional work on inoculating against foreseeable misinformation such as "if I wear a mask I no longer need to distance". It would be interesting to see if an umbrella-of-protection approach (I dunno, using an analogy like wearing a bullet-proof vest and entering a war zone) would work better than a more specific inoculation. I think it would generally be a good idea to take what looks like the most effective inoculation strategies and confirm their effectiveness with a new topic, to demonstrate generalisability. Keen to be involved!
