I've seen many stories/tweets about two hairstylists who exposed 140 people by working for *eight days* while symptomatic. One, this shouldn't happen. Two, where's the follow up? Is anyone actually infected? If not, that should get as much news coverage. https://www.nbcboston.com/news/coronavirus/missouri-hair-stylist-with-covid-19-worked-while-symptomatic-exposed-dozens-of-clients/2130222/
I've seen so many tweets and stories with the same picture from a boardwalk in Maryland. I advocate for people avoiding crowds and wearing masks. On the other hand, those telephoto lens pics are misleading. Regardless: WILL THERE BE A FOLLOW UP? We need real info, not scolding.
For months, there's been "you'll see in two weeks" posts/tweets about this beach, that park, that party. No, let's not hold crowded parties. Yes, let's wear masks. But most of those did not seem to cause the any spikes. Or did they? Where's the tracing? Where's the reporting?
If two symptomatic hair stylists worked for eight whole days with hundreds of people, we're going to learn a whole lot from the attack rate, but to do that we need to trace those customers *and* report on the findings. There is constant "you'll see!" but not enough "let's learn"!
