to be honest, I wish we knew a little more about how it spreads
Yes masks work...but it isn't only spreading from non-mask wearers
Does it seem that people who are wearing masks are still getting it
are people getting from touching the door handle at the grocery store and wiping their eyes later?
We may never know, but I was kind of feeling that cleaning the groceries with bleach really didn't make much of an impact on transmission. My feeling is that it has a short life span in the open air, especially in sunlight. So if someone coughs on an outdoor picnic bench, the chance of catching that a few seconds later is low.
But if you are in a bar and cough on the table or in the bathroom, that could linger on surfaces for minutes or hours and definitely in the air that is being recirculated
But are people getting it in their eyes even if they are wearing masks when someone coughs up the road or in a grocery store?
My feeling is the risk is people are out there, infected and spending time with others in enclosed rooms for extended periods of time
and because it can take two weeks to show symptoms, it's impossible to know who is sick infected
I still think the deployment of rapid testing to everyone and every location in the US should be a part of the plan going forward
I think it would be great if I went to a restaurant or concert and prior to admission, you had to take a rapid test
Wouldn't be fool proof or 100%, but would let those who may not even know they were infected...stop spreading and isolate immediately
that in conjunction with massive vax rollout
I'm sure excon will detail this out, so this was more of a prompt for him or Julian to respond
