That chart has some odd stuff on it. A higher percentage of epidemiologists got or would have gotten a haircut in a salon than would've let little kids have outdoor play dates? That seems very peculiar.

Why? Protecting their kids more imp than getting a haircut

Not letting kids play even outdoors is harming the kids, not protecting them.

Take up your argument with the epidemiologists here, who apparently think risk of play not worth the benefit

For months, many epidemiologists argued against masks saying they would give people a false sense of security etc. I've taken it up with them, then, too.

Do “many” epidemiologists still say masks create false sense of security?

No, lots of us took it up with them, as we now should with anyone who says outdoor play for kids is to be advised against.

For a while, it was pretty lonely but others joined in with time and got both the CDC and the WHO to start recommending masks. Feel free to look up my work.

Hmmm, I note a pivot. No answer re “us.” I understood the lag in recco masking in US was due to the shortage of PPE/masks, to protect supply for HC workers. Anyway I found the article interesting
