      Also my impression from reading months cases/papers. 6 feet indoors isn't same as 6 feet outdoors. Many super-spreading event indoors even when people are distanced but unmasked, talking and there for some time. On the other hand, the bar for infection outdoors seems to be high.https://twitter.com/JeremyKonyndyk/status/1276968353182220288 …

      85 cases, from a single restaurant, that followed spacing guidelines, in a state with relatively low transmission. I’m very pessimistic that there’s any safe way to reopen indoor dining. Capping occupancy won’t cut it. Outdoor and carry out only for now. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/27/us/michigan-coronavirus-bar-harpers/index.html …

      So, this. We are six months in. We have many papers and cases and studies. Neither spacing nor hand-sanitizer will cut it for being safely indoors—especially if people are talking and/or are unmasked. Also, hi, beaches aren't leading to big outbreaks.https://twitter.com/AstroKatie/status/1276919877803151365 …

      Any organization that justifies bringing workers back into offices by touting their hand sanitizer and desk spacing is completely unserious. Show me your HEPA filters and ventilation system diagrams. Is your AC recirculated? Where is the air flow? What CO2 levels do you reach?

          So, schools shouldn’t open in August (since it’s unlikely every school in every district can afford to overhaul their ventilation system).

          Seems like it could be really important for the CDC or someone to study the marginal benefits of improved ventilation/filtration. Like does opening windows and running some fans help? Or do you need hospital-grade airflow and filtration to get the benefit?
