The problem with COVID infected people having little or no symptoms is that they don’t realize they are infecting others. Such is the case with me. I became infected by someone who did not know they had COVID and was infecting others. That is also an example why all of us should wear masks, whether we know we are infected or not, when in proximity to others.
IF 6 feet away works, why wear masks? If masks work, why can’t we be closer than 6 feet? IF you are worried about catching Covid, and/or have underlying symptoms, by all means, stay away from others.
Bottom line: Unless one is in a self contained environment, they and anyone sharing the environment is at risk of viral infection, COVID, influenza, polio, and others. In some environments, such as a confining interior space, six feet separation may not be adequate separation. Outdoors with a strong wind, 18 inches may provide enough separation. Depending on mask filtration properties, masks will help in varying degrees. A N95 mask will help better than a linen handkerchief. We wear masks to help prevent contaminating others, by knocking down and restricting free flowing water droplet projectiles from our noses and mouths from sneezing, snorting, coughing, talking, singing, etcetera. Unless the mask is classified as a N95 or greater filtering respirator one can probably assume the mask provides very limited self protection. If one wants to know how I know all this, I pay attention when doctors speak.
Because nothing is 100% effective a preventing the spread of COVID. It’s all about risk, standing next to someone without masks basically guarantees that if they have it you’ll get it. By standing 6 ft apart and wearing masks it reduces that risk to nearly zero, reducing the risk of catching a potentially deadly disease to a low enough level that most people except those at extremely high risk feel safe going out.
No one likes lockdowns and travel restrictions, and we don’t need them as long enough people wear masks and distance that the spread is slowed. The vaccine isn’t a silver bullet, but it will significantly reduce risk once enough people are vaccinated. COVID is going to be with us for a long time, but hopefully by May or June we will be back at a new normal.
Hogwash, the CDC has said you need to be in close contact for 20-30 minutes to be at a major risk.
The CDC guideline is <15 minutes and that I believe is for “protected” healthcare workers attending to potential asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. Henry is correct; there are varying degrees and levels of risk when outside of a protected environment. Now then, if 20-30 minutes of close contact with a positive patient was the only contagious criterion, there wouldn’t be a world-wide pandemic. Think a bit more before you type.
3K out of around 115K doesn’t seem like all that many cases to me. Most with no symptoms.
“3K” doesn’t seem like all that many? Consider this then. SARS-CoV-2 started when one person who was infected transmitted it to another. That was one person infecting another person. I’m sure a year ago someone said the same thing … “doesn’t seem like all that many cases to me.”
I also am pro-choice like you.
