You're thinking about it in terms of what will keep me safe.
But that's not what the designers of this comic are asking. They're asking "what simple, reproducible practice will reduce viral spread throughout the whole population."
People are more likely to open a window than move gatherings outside. So it's a better intervention.
It's like how narcan administration gets taught. Technically, intravenous admin is more effective, but intramuscular also works and is much easier. Because of this, narcan trainers usually teach intramuscular injection. It's the same principle.
I'm saying that this will not reduce viral spread throughout the whole population. If there's a crowd of people staying in one building for long periods of time, an open window will not mitigate the spread of covid. That makes this a dangerous comic to share, because it is convincing people of safety in a situation where safety does not exist.
