Aloyzio Achutti, AMICOR - 1 day ago
New post on *Mind Hacks* Do we suffer ‘behavioural fatigue’ for pandemic prevention measures?by vaughanbell *The Guardian* recently published an article saying "People won't get 'tired' of social distancing – and it's unscientific to suggest otherwise". "Behavioural fatigue" the piece said, "has no basis in science".
