[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2.5 yr old doesn’t wear a mask outside.  That said, we generally stay away from large groups of kids and go to the playground at non-popular hours.

Yes, I’m still worried about little kids even outside.  They get right in each other’s faces and everything goes in their mouths.  I seriously doubt the scientists tested “climbing a slide ladder after someone licked it”.

So where is the outbreak of kids who got Covid from the park by not wearing masks? There are a lot of places nobody is wearing a mask at a park, yet no rash of toddlers getting sick or dying.[/quote]

NP.  You aren’t at all worried about the more contagious mutations of covid especially now that tourists are descending?  I don’t know anyone who wasn’t masked prior to now which could be why they didn’t trace cases of transmission (if they even tried).  Now we have the anti-vaccine, unmasked idiots.

This is not a done-deal, PP.  [/quote]

I’m sorry, are you saying that contract tracing was not done because of masking practices? That masks were so effective that there was no need to contact trace? Actually contact tracing is impossible once cases explode, so it was a huge failure here. It had nothing to do with masks...in fact, CDC quarantine guidelines were no different for exposures with and without masks.

Interestingly, one of the first known infections in the US was a woman in Chicago who only infected her husband. Presumably there was near zero immunity in the community at the time.

“ Patient 1—a woman in her 60s—returned from China in mid-January, 2020. One week later, she was hospitalised with pneumonia and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Her husband (Patient 2) did not travel but had frequent close contact with his wife. He was admitted 8 days later and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Overall, 372 contacts of both cases were identified; 347 underwent active symptom monitoring, including 152 community contacts and 195 health-care personnel. Of monitored contacts, 43 became persons under investigation, in addition to Patient 2. These 43 persons under investigation and all 32 asymptomatic health-care personnel tested negative for SARS-CoV-2.”
