“Dr. Anthony Fauci says U.S. coronavirus cases are surging because nation didn’t totally shut down”

Comment - Fauci’s credibility is ripe for questioning. He provides scant evidence to backup his claim. That someone like him could not even consider that face masks (not N95) for the public to wear may be effective at minimizing risk of getting COVID-19 demonstrates to me that there is stale thinking and bureaucratic rot at NIAID. I mean, did NO ONE at NIAID think “maybe non-N95 masks may be effective at reducing the risk of getting COVID-19”? No one?

Fomites and droplets strike again. I knew we would see an increase in infections as soon as people congregated indoors with AC.

How is it even possible to clean down a dining room or bar in a closed environment? Even with the best air handling system (UVC, Hepa, air exchangers), the rails, floor, door knobs and tables are still high risk.

I remember the original videos and photos coming out of Wuhan. One example showed tenants fashioning a cup and toothpicks to select elevator buttons. I suppose others in China let their guard down.
