New CDC brief says increasing universal masking by 15% could reduce economic losses by up to $1 trillion
Most COVID-19 cases in large US cities stem from visits to just a few types of places, a new study suggests.
Restaurants, gyms, hotels and houses of worship are among the 10 percent of locations that would appear to account for 80 percent of the infections, according to research published in the journal Nature on Tuesday.
(CNN)Wearing a mask can help protect you, not just those around you, from coronavirus transmission, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in new guidance Tuesday. The statement was an update to previous guidance suggesting the main benefit of mask wearing was to help prevent infected people from spreading the virus to others.
Cloth masks act as "source control" to block virus particles exhaled by the wearer and provide "filtration for personal protection" by blocking incoming infectious droplets from others, the CDC said in its new guidance.
I think that the problem most people have is separating the real BLM and Antifa activists that are normally bused in and are the ones actually doing the rioting from the local citizens, often teenagers, who show up at the protests because they have been misinformed about exactly who BLM and Antifa activists actually are.
