I don’t think that’s all of it. I live in a region that eliminate the virus locally (nova scotia). They deeply care about success and have taken effective measures.
....but they still largely focus on deep cleaning rather than ventilation! And they emphasize the six foot rule in their contact tracing.
I think the true explanation has to do with first impressions. People seem to have stuck on whatever they first heard in Feb-April. And it is harder for an institution to change its mind than for an individual.
On masks, for example, I think the mantra of “masks protect others, they don’t protect you” has stuck even though other types of mask also filter incoming air. People just don’t update their beliefs too easily.
