However, the CDC continues to go out of its way to stigmatize masks, not listing it in its core prevention strategies for respiratory viruses, and calling it an “additional” prevention strategy instead.
@luckytran is the part about isolating for 24 hours correct? That seems so short...
@sofiav @luckytran well. it highly depends on the individual situation. but it is correct when you quarantine for two weeks after those 24 hours. /s

@sofiav @luckytran

Depends. Does your boss want you back in the office? That's what drives the guidelines.

@luckytran CDC committing crimes against humanity.
@luckytran I also see they've listed "treatment" as a prevention, so they're clearly not too hung up on accuracy with this one
@cibyr I don’t think anyone with more than a marketing degree had anything to do with this.
@luckytran sat in doctors reception having a coughing episode and masked and people jumped out of chairs that were near me ... mother with baby left the building..... I have covid and no special rules ... even doctor was not masked this time as she is in different clinic now...

@luckytran But hand washing still seems to protect you from airborne viruses in CDCland. 🙃

@luckytran good to know we're still prioritizing washing hands over masks. washing hands is just generally a good idea, but we already know that picking it up from surfaces is a very unlikely way to get infected with SARS-CoV-2. nearly all infections are from breathing in aerosols and they still wanna act like masks aren't the single best way to reduce that.

@luckytran

"Hygiene" 😂 😂 😂
