This is going under the radar, but looks like the CDC guidelines for masking are switching back to COVID-19 Community *TRANSMISSION* levels instead of "Community levels."

That means the CDC now recommends universal masking for **71%** of counties in the US, instead of only 9%.

@luckytran huh.. I had missed that and I pay closer attention than most people whose job isn't public health...any chance it was just a typo by whoever manages that account? Or do you think this is a policy change?

@bethsawin Yes, there's a good chance it's a typo. But if this turns out to be a mistake from the CDC's social team, it just shows how bad & confusing the CDC Community Levels map is, and that they should revert to the simpler, more useful transmission map!
