The CDC has finally acknowledged that SARS-CoV-2 is not a typical “winter” respiratory virus, and COVID-19 is a threat that can surge throughout the year.

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 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.
