It was obvious that using masks will cut down transmission of any disease that can be transmitted through the air, whether or not that is the primary means of infection.On October 6th, 2020, creator collective Artifact Studios posted a 3D render of three Among Us crewmates wearing Nike Jordan sneakers (shown below). I still haven’t figured out why they thought it was a good idea to tell people they shouldn’t use masks. “We don’t really know yet” was not a politically acceptable answer. People wanted rules that would to guarrantee they wouldn’t get infected, even though there weren’t any at the time. Add to that the pressure from the Trump people to pretend that there was no epidemic at all. My guess is that the people who were making the recommendations were under a lot of pressure to give definitive recommendations even though they were still finding out what worked and what didn’t. E.g., a choir that had a rehearsal where they were all more than 6 feet apart the whole time - and everyone got infected. They were talking about droplets traveling 30 feet or more.Īnd I was reading about cases where whole groups of people who were spaced more than 6 feet apart still got it. For instance, I remember a year ago reading newspaper articles about experiments with how far droplets would travel, and even then it was obvious that the 6 foot / 2-meter thing was bogus. Looking at the article about the COVID transmission issue: there were clear indications even a year ago that those assumptions about transmission weren’t correct.
