Information isnt Advocacy
The summary findings were not that mask wearing is ineffective.No, it didn’t. You should really try reading the actual CDC report and not some right wing misrepresentation of it.Did you bother to visit the CDC report? What was the summary findings of that CDC report? I’ll give you a little hint, it isn’t that you shouldn’t wear a mask.
It never said that. What it said is that most of the people who got the virus wore masks.
Summary
What is already known about the topic?
Community and close contact exposures contribute to the spread of COVID-19.
What is added by this report?
Findings from a case-control investigation of symptomatic outpatients from 11 U.S. health care facilities found that close contact with persons with known COVID-19 or going to locations that offer on-site eating and drinking options were associated with COVID-19 positivity. Adults with positive SARS-CoV-2 test results were approximately twice as likely to have reported dining at a restaurant than were those with negative SARS-CoV-2 test results.
What are the implications for public health practice?
Eating and drinking on-site at locations that offer such options might be important risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Efforts to reduce possible exposures where mask use and social distancing are difficult to maintain, such as when eating and drinking, should be considered to protect customers, employees, and communities.
So how does that change anything?
