Lens compression only works if too many people are there to begin with. If people are sparse enough, no picture will make you worry.

Take the two examples in the article: the picture with the trees, when compressed, looks less dense than the non-compressed picture in the street. Guess which scenario is safer!



The linked Danish article in another comment has some good examples of people spaced safely apart but appearing crowded depending on the photo used — https://nyheder.tv2.dk/samfund/2020-04-26-hvor-taet-er-folk-...

By sparse enough, do you mean more than 2 metres from each other (as per the guidance in most countries) or some other metric?
