Yes. Updated CDC guidelines acknowledging airborne transmission and inhalation as key route have *huge* implications for both masking guidelines & indoor behavior—before we even get to additional ventilation mitigation. Details is in my article upthread.https://twitter.com/HikerDave57/status/1308025529472151554 …

Yep! This CDC update is not more of the same without impacting guidelines or recommendations. It has *many* important practical implications and changes compared to the one that did not acknowledge airborne transmission. That's why it matters a lot.https://twitter.com/HikerDave57/status/1313190311745654784 …

They again failed to communicate risk properly. This indoor longer-distance risk is mainly related to heavy breathing like singing and working out! Ok! Let's resume all-day-long indoor in-person business conferences as long as we are 6 ft. apart!

They specifically removed "restaurants" from the indoor airborne risk discussion, compared to the Sept. version that was taken down. This is the main difference. They are limiting the indoor >6ft. aerosol/airborne risk to choirs and gyms and comedy shows basically. Big mistake...

No mention of the relative effectiveness of different types of mask. A N100 respirator is (supposedly ) 100% effective, but home-made cloth masks may be only 10% effective. Some mesh or 'breathable' masks may have no value whatsoever.

Shit man glad I found you... I’m no doctor but it has seemed clear to me that people have been doing the minimum, and picking and choosing at that. My wife and I have been at home since March, and we don’t get closer than 20 ft to other people, with masks. Why not be cautious?

Because people need to eat. To eat, they need to earn money. To earn money, many people have to go to work places where they have to be within 20 ft of other people. Like grocery stores, buses, hospitals, LTC homes. Consider yourself blessed because you have options.

The office guidance on ventilation is very good with actionable suggestions; I’m confident that when I return to the office sometime next year my employer will have implemented many of these suggestions now that they come from the CDC.

Let's wait for the (hopefully quick) update, as trust is key to public health. It's already late!
Failure all around. CDC still hasn't posted guidelines for airborne transmission. WHO's advice to the public still doesn't *mention* ventilation or how 3 feet isn't enough indoors or say masks on at all times indoors.
