Yes, I was reading about this this morning in the NY Times. I understand why it's good to err on the side of caution when it comes to public health, but the science is pointing towards more openness outdoors. The CDC should revise its guidelines. It also explains why after a year of outdoor demonstrations, there were not accompanying spikes in infection rates. Indoor gatherings where large groups of people aren't wearing masks and aren't social distancing and there is poor ventilation are simply more likely to be places where the virus can spread.

 

So we follow the science we now have. We didn't have this science before, didn't have the hypotheses confirmed before, but now we do. I still trust the CDC in general, but I have always been open to hearing validated, conflicting opinions. As soon as I'm 2 weeks past full vaccination, I will feel very confident not wearing a mask outside. I'm not mad at the CDC for being too conservative on this one, but I do think they need to revise ASAP.

I missed this post before responding...You said it all.

I am not sure what the news flash is, we are just waiting for the policy to catch up to the science.   I heard Fauci say that there was an "almost nil" chance of transmission outdoors a few weeks ago. 

I heard Fauci say that masks are necessary.  And that they are not necessary.  And that we should wear two masks.  In fact, I heard Fauci say a lot of nonsense this past year.  Also heard he's the one that helped Wuhan fund the research into covid after Obama told him to stop doing it in the US.  Good ole Fauci.

Quote

Officials from both the Trump and Biden administrations have said that the Chinese government worked for over a year to thwart an independent investigation into the origins of the virus, which has killed 3.25 million people worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University, and both administrations cast doubt on the manner in which the WHO-Chinastudy was conducted in early 2021. Though the WHO-China report said a jump from animals to humans was most likely, Trump officials have pointed to an accidental escape from the Wuhan Institute of Virology as a highly plausible origin for the pandemic.  

 

Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Wisconsin Republican, wrote a letter to Fauci this week asking for answers on NIH’s relationship with the Wuhan lab.  

 

“Through National Institutes of Health grants to the New York-based organization EcoHealth Alliance, the U.S. government helped fund research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. While this funding was no doubt well-intentioned, taxpayers deserve a detailed understanding of whether federal resources supported dangerous ‘gain-of-function’ research, and whether this might have played a role in the outbreak of the pandemic,” Gallagher wrote. “As the world seeks to recover from this pandemic, Americans deserve to understand not only how this catastrophe came about, but that their government is learning and internalizing lessons to ensure it does not happen again.”

The article I posted from Nicholas Wade is quite detailed.  Even though it doesn’t claim a direct conclusion, it presents a great deal of information regarding all sides of the origin of the Vid.  Fauci May be correct that the grant in question was not specifically for GoF research, but the oversight by this highly paid bureaucrat was severely lacking.

 

Regardless, St. Fauci has a lot of defenders which is predictable.

 Most of the ones in my area go with neck gaiters, but may be tempted by hand sewn NASCAR prints.
