That's the city called Corona in Riverside County, California.
Not related.
Reportedly, it happened on Friday 19 June; some dick hit a motorbike and carried on; the rider is OK.[1][2][3]
Spectacular video though.

seems like you still dont see the problem with disregarding official public health advice
Do you think the outcome would have been better if everyone had followed whatever advice they could find on youtube rather than what the government was saying?

Apparently.
We have the highest death toll in Europe. Our daily deaths resemble the total EU's combined. Countries with masks have done significantly better, as has nearly every other country on Earth except Brazil and the USA.
So yeah.
Right now the official public health advice is deliberately overcomplicated, requiring pages of flow charts and logic diagrams to explain. Messages from government are mixed at best, often chaotic.
I suggest we follow the public health advice from countries with serious leaders and successful covid response policies.

the trouble with that is that there are people who think Trump and Bolsonaro are serious leaders with successful covid policies
Presumably you dont think people should be following their public health advice?
The OP was about how hand sanitiser is ineffective in stopping the spread of coronavirus btw. Do you agree with that?

"The OP was about how hand sanitiser is ineffective in stopping the spread of coronavirus btw" you're twisting my words here, to suit your own argument. again in black and white: if you breath in the virus, hand sanitiser is not going to help you. it does help overall, because it mitigates infection through touching the virus, but alas the vast majority of infections are contracted by breathing. So like I said in March it's not going to have "a big impact". meaning: If we all go about our business with no social distancing and have very clean hands: it's not going to do fuck all to stop the spread by itself . Again, I don't know how much clearer I can show you the truth of the matter.

Trump supporters are probably the same ones who protested against the lockdown and broke the rules in other ways anyway.
I don't think people should be following *some* of the UK government's advice when it contradicts or falls short of international standards.
The initial lack of a quarantine on international travel was insane, but now we are the most infected country in Europe we impose quarantine on people entering from countries with lower infection rates, and impose no quarantine on our own citizens leaving this infected hellhole. The government has announced more changes to the quarantine rules today, just to add to the confusion.
The 'support bubble' scheme is a shambles, even I have friends who have been bubbling people who don't live alone. The bubble system combined with the 7 day 2 households overnight rule is a boolean nightmare.
The 7 day isolation rules have always struck me as weird compared to the WHO standard 14 days.
The 2 meter rule was actually better than the international 1m standard, which is why it's so frustrating to have it watered down to "1m plus."
Soap and water are preferable to hand sanitiser, that has always been the official advice. Over-use of hand sanitiser can dry and split your skin, providing more potential points of infection. Unless there are extenuating circumstances (e.g. you, or someone you are caring for has a compromised immune system) I'd only use it when soap and water aren't available.
When I need to go shopping I wear vinyl gloves and wash my hands before and after. I carry a simple mask in case it is not possible to maintain 2m, and I have a more heavy duty active carbon filter mask for when I know I'm going to be in a crowded situation.
Sorry for the wall of text.

Dumb question: but, I'll tell you what I think: I think if everyone did what I did then YES: we would know best practice from the evidence of studies and the advice of experts and from successful systems of mitigation like that in Thailand for example.

yes it's clear that you think you know best
My question was would the outcome have been better if *everyone* had thought they knew best and acted as they pleased, according to whatever shit they could find on the internet, instead of following official public health advice.

again, the same fucking stupid premise
If everyone did as I did, and continue to do, then they would not be acting according to whatever shit they found on the internet. They would be acting according to critical thinking, evidence based studies, and expert advice. Your question is wrong because I am not acting as I please, according to whatever shit I could find on the internet. Stop trying to pull shit out of your ass.

I know that if you have an argument you look like a dick. ...edit... . interesting that the attack towards me seems to be turning into "why are you talking? you're mental and you're not going to change anyone's mind." Rather than "you're talking shit and you're wrong wrong wrong" which is what is was at the time. also by the way, I made one post on this link. and replied to other peoples points, I didn't set out to go on a mental rant saga. It ended up that way only because of these people arguing with me. so blame them and yourself for feeding the troll.

So the people who think they're capable of critical thinking should have done their own research and formulated their own plan of action
The people who don't think they're capable should have followed the government advice, yes?
You think that would have produced a better outcome? Fewer deaths, slower spread, flattened curve etc etc

Well done, public advice has caught up with you.
Kind of. I recall you advised heavy-duty masks, not just three layers of fabric stitched together.
This is because the evidence has been built up that widespread mask-wearing might have an effect on transmission. It's not conclusive, and the public health advice is at least partly to reassure people that it's safe to go out again.
Still, it doesn't change the fact that your original insistence on masks wasn't evidence-based. You'd just seen one expert say something, and then proceeded to ram it down everyone's throats like you'd single-handedly discovered the cure for cancer.
The fact that you accidentally backed a horse that may (or may yet not) be the 'right' one doesn't change the fact that the hostile reaction you received was about 95% down to you being such an obnoxious fucking prick about it.

Many reputable studies show that it is effective to wear a mask.
There really is no debate on that fact now.
At the time I advised N95 masks or better. You can see an N95 Mask in the thumbnail above. Hardly heavy duty
and don't you think that the W.H.O. would be recommending N95 masks instead of home made ones if they were ubiquitous? Think a little next time.

I used one expert as an example, which is different to "just seeing one expert say something". As to ramming down peoples throats: If you got that impression it's because I was reacting to the fucking shitty and stupid attitude of wankers as quoted above. (you included) Had they not done that, or thought critically and logically then the conversation would have been more like, "cheers for the link". "you're welcome"

I wasn't calling you an absolute spastic for saying masks were effective. You didn't mention masks at all in your post.
