I've seen many stories/tweets about two hairstylists who exposed 140 people by working for *eight days* while symptomatic. One, this shouldn't happen. Two, where's the follow up? Is anyone actually infected? If not, that should get as much news coverage.https://www.nbcboston.com/news/coronavirus/missouri-hair-stylist-with-covid-19-worked-while-symptomatic-exposed-dozens-of-clients/2130222/ …

As far as I can tell, nobody got infected from the two hairstylist who worked for eight days with 140 clients while symptomatic but wearing masks. Is this the case? I genuinely want to know what happened. How are we supposed to assess risk without data? https://www.springfieldmo.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx …

It seems that there are no cases from the dreaded Ozark pool party where there was at least one infected person likely at peak of infectiousness It was 10 days ago, so may still see cases. But please folks: just don't shame and disappear. Follow up.https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/state-and-regional/no-new-covid-19-cases-from-lake-of-the-ozarks-crowds-missouri-health-director-says/article_6f36ad32-d125-5382-b78f-74bd0f6510ac.html …

The incubation period for the COVID positive hairstylists in Missouri just ended. The two stylists and 140+ clients all wore masks. Not one person was infected. It's a data point. Let's hope this gets the same attention that the the original alarm got. https://www.springfieldmo.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=6939 …pic.twitter.com/P72zUGK3M1

Other 100 were quarantined; none seem to have developed any symptoms. It's remotely plausible that there were truly asymptomatic infected case(s) among the 100 but given there were zero among the 45 tested, and these people were on alert, seems unlikely.https://twitter.com/Andres4NY/status/1270457388362055683 …

There is largely no tracing. That’s one of the many problems.

Well clearly there WAS contact tracing in the hairstylist’s case, because the hairstylist had detailed records of who the customers were, and the exact number of customers exposed was reported. Hopefully the health dept is following up w those customers.

Thank you for the last two sentences of this, a key peril and opportunity for journalism right now and always.

We'd need to be actually tracing, though. Are we? Genuinely asking, because I don't know. Also with the recently discussed issues w/ reporting, would we know about past instances? I'm sure lots of people are working to disentangle the data mess, but it'll be a minute, no?
