In Report Affirming Nearly No Transmission In Schools, CDC Slips In Shocking Data About Asymptomatic Spread

This apparent lack of transmission [in schools] is consistent with recent research (5), which found an asymptomatic attack rate of only 0.7% within households and a lower rate of transmission from children than from adults.

based on one study

So if the new research shows that in the home where close prolonged contact shows .7% asymptomatic spread, what about outside the home where prolonged close contact is rare? Would it not be logical to assume it is a value approaching zero and all the restriction are just 'hygiene theater'?

Science is useless when it doesn’t jive with your political leanings.

Seen lots of people in the park, home depot, etc. coughing and obviously sick, but they have a mask on so all is good. Masks encourage reckless behavior, just like some other safety devices as evidenced by those who stick their hand between elevator doors to keep them from shutting or cops who stick their feet under a garage door to keep it from shutting. Sometimes safety devices breed stupidity.

Gee, are they seriously saying it’s almost impossible to transmit a disease when you’re not sick? F in shocker!

At least those students won't be as mentally damaged as those in Calfornia or other mask mandate states. There will be children who after 20 years are still damaged by the hygiene theater of mask wearing and will insist is works to protect you from disease.

Yes

And Yes.....as if we didn't know it all along. This is why those two geniuses didn't stick around, they knew a metaphorical beating was coming their way.

"Hygiene Theater" I like that- I'm going to start using this term every chance I get from now on
