Where is that the advice? In the UK it's very much saying that you must wear a mask indoors and maintain as much distance as you can.
My part of the US apparently. The local restaurant regulations is 6ft apart and if people are sitting you don't need a mask. Same with stadiums/theaters/etc..

Yes. 6% have COVID as the only cause. That doesn't mean the other 94% weren't COVID deaths, just that their medical histories involved other conditions as well. > He noted that the 6% figure includes cases where COVID-19 was listed as the only cause of death. “That does not mean that someone who has hypertension or diabetes who dies of Covid didn’t die of Covid-19. They did,” Fauci said on ABC’s “Good Morning America…
Fauci is a highly controversial source. And I doubt you can make such absolute statements given that the data quality is so poor. Even the WHO stated that PCR tests cannot detect an infection. It is only an indicator for doctors to make a diagnosis. So, how can you be so sure? BTW: Seems like those self-proclaimed "fact checkers" are funded by the Annenberg Foundation which has close ties to big pharma...

Fauci isn't "highly controversial".
Also he's inconsistent because within a few months Fauci went from “there’s no reason to be walking around with a mask” to double masking “makes common sense“...

Bhattacharya (and Ioannidis while we are talking about Stanford faculty) have gotten a lot of pushback and by no means represent any sort of consensus.
A group of renown epidemiologists from Stanford, Oxford and Harvard demand: "Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal." http://gbdeclaration.org/
Lol “renowned epidemiologists” who insisted the total US mortality would remain under 100k deaths. These clowns can be safely ignored.

I saw videos of some countries driving trucks doing a sort of fogging and spraying of whole outdoor areas. Not unlike in the article here. It seemed like a strange practice to combat a virus to me but when I raised the question I was told various things that I found pretty unconvincing. I'm glad to see some actual work identifying risks is out there now. I suspect surfaces, like other practices are focused on, becaus…
It's why I've turned off most of the WWW now. Even an "enlightened" place like HN is mostly a bag of predictable tropes. The WWW (not the internet in general) has proven to be a trap, it's almost real enough to seem authentic. To a careful reader, there's little difference in value between the typical "top comment" and the weird rant of an off-kilter Waffle House patron. And there's no point in analyzing an endless stream of ephemeral rants from randos. That's the WWW now!
I can't wait to log back in next week and see this guy at -1.
