Would seem to be an indicator that the mask mandate is working, right? I mean, with the 2 week or so lag and all. If only we knew for sure that masks work.

I pretty much touch my mask for three reasons - it's riding too high, too low, or it's pulling on my ears unevenly. All of these adjustments require a small tug at the periphery of the mask which isn't invasive at all. Now, I have gotten in the habit of keeping a spray bottle of sanitizer in my pocket whenever I go somewhere public, and I use it diligently, but I really don't see how mask-touching should be much of an issue.
That's fine. But everyone constantly touching the mask isn't an issue? Guess i need to just wear the mask and not question it. Keep the illusion of "doing our part" going.
It is becoming more and more clear to me that re-opening schools = creating literally thousands of super-spreader events across the nation for a few weeks before it all gets shut down.
So these kids, they're humans, right? They have respiratory systems like adults do, right? Why are we shocked and / or questioning whether or not they can spread this virus like adults??

Just a heads up for anyone who cares. My sore throat did go away a couple of hours ago so I assume it was one of my regular ones. It's just strange that it lasted half of the day and not just the span of minutes it normally does when this happens. I'm going to have to stop sleeping with the AC on such a low temperature with the ceiling fan on high. Pretty sure that's what causes it in the first place.I woke up this morning with a sore throat. I sleep on my back and sometimes sleep with my mouth open all night (I suppose) and wake up with a sore throat that goes away after a few minutes. I've been up for 4 hours and not only do I still have the sore throat and it feels like my glands may be swelling. I'm hoping I'm just paranoid. Fingers crossed I feel better as I drink more coffee and the day goes on.
He did clearly state that the CDC still has access to all of that data though.
