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/ …

I've seen so many tweets and stories with the same picture from a boardwalk in Maryland. I advocate for people avoiding crowds and wearing masks. On the other hand, those telephoto lens pics are misleading. Regardless: WILL THERE BE A FOLLOW UP? We need real info, not scolding.

For months, there's been "you'll see in two weeks" posts/tweets about this beach, that park, that party. No, let's not hold crowded parties. Yes, let's wear masks. But most of those did not seem to cause the any spikes. Or did they? Where's the tracing? Where's the reporting?

If two symptomatic hair stylists worked for eight whole days with hundreds of people, we're going to learn a whole lot from the attack rate, but to do that we need to trace those customers *and* report on the findings. There is constant "you'll see!" but not enough "let's learn"!

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 …

Replying to @zeynep
It's also hard to exclude if those who refused testing chose to pretend they have no symptoms if those symptoms aren't severe enough. Hence that 100 might include some mild cases as well as asymptomatic. But at very least masks should've reduced the initial viral load.
