So the scientists at CDC have finally caught up with centuries of best practices and common sense and issued new mask guidelines. They are all entirely consistent with those I offered my readers over a year ago. Perhaps next time people start dropping like flies someone at the CDC or DHS or somewhere could do the unthinkable, step outside what can be proven at that very moment, and offer guidance based on centuries of fighting communicable diseases and common sense observations like public drinking fountains have been kept sanitary for centuries by sunlight.
When the science isn't in yet, offer SOME guidance based on experience. Obviously you're perfectly willing to admit you got it wrong after the fact, so just take a good scientific wild-assed guess, make the standard "Do no harm", and give us your best guess confident you'll do at least SOME good. It's hard to imagine getting this so wrong it's worse than leaving people to figure it out for themselves and all the ways THAT can go wrong.
I just have to wonder, did the CDC not read the DHS Lab's reports regarding the fact that direct, noon-day sunlight at sea-level, like at noon in Manhattan, kills COVID-19 to undetectable levels in less than 3 minutes? SMH. If the best that can be said for the CDC is they aren't making things worse, then how is that better than having no CDC at all? They have a huge budget, and spend it on hand-wringing and 2nd guessing themselves?
