With 2.2 whole percent of the country catching the Sesame Sickness (many with no symptoms what-so-ever), you’d think we all lost a few hundred loved ones.
I’m trying to figure out what evidence Sneaky would find convincing.
The reality is nobody can be 100% certain of transmission one to another unless the recipient had absolutely no contact with anyone else. Such cases are exceedingly rare and am hoping Sneaky isn’t looking for that sort of certainty.
What we do, is look at interactions that have a higher probability of transmission. We then look for other cases that have that interaction in common. As cases mount, the probability rises that that was the source as it becomes more unlikely that these cases all happened to start around the same time due to other random interactions.
It’s all really kind of simple. We want to get back to normal, right? To do that we need as few covid cases as possible. To have as few cases as possible, we need to limit community transmission. To do that, we need to practice distancing and masks.
trump is not doing these things. So he is working against our interest to get back to normal.
The blessing and curse of the CV19 is that it can be carried in such a non-symptomatic manner that it becomes almost impossible to contact trace.
This is why it sounds so hollow to be critical of one outdoor gathering and ignore others.
I think the mask study that shows 70% of the infected as wearing them should help assuage these public mask confrontations. They are stupid…just keep away and mind your own affairs.
