I think I'd agree with that. Bathed in air from the overhead, constant refresh of the environment, everyone wearing masks...makes sense. Probably the biggest risk is in the airport, shuttles, etc.
I wonder how an Amtrak with a sleeper room would be.

Like wearing masks.
I don't get why masks are so fucking controversial.
Other than kind of making you look like a doofus, it is about the least inconvenient thing you can do (much more "fire and forget" than washing your hands, or carrying hand sanitizer, etc). If it makes you feel like less of a pussy, Jocko's Willink's company is selling them. Go 'Murica.
I'm not saying people should go Karen over this either...but this is where the government (at multiple) levels is being retarded by not just putting out clear cut guidance. Medical experts have already weighed in, make it an endorsed mitigation measure at the federal level for states to avoid lockdowns, delegate it to state/local governments to make it mandatory as necessary to mitigate local outbreaks.
It would get around all the people who aren't wearing masks because they're worried about looking stupid. Make everybody (locally) look stupid together, problem solved.
Says the guy moonlighting as the HPCON enforcement team.
Can you find a timeline of the CDC’s guidelines since the beginning of the pandemic to now?
FTR, I'm personally not a big fan of the masks. I think they're mostly theater and partly science. (By that I mean when you factor in every bumpkin in society and the things they do with their masks that you're not supposed to do*.) But I do think that the science part makes a small but appreciable difference when it's a little crowded indoors or when it's a lot crowded outdoors.
Mostly I avoid the crowded places and that minimizes a lot of risk. If a place of business requires masks (requires... requests... either way) then I'll cooperate. If a store doesn't require masks then I generally won't wear one myself—my neck of the woods has been holding a very low infection rate—but I won't go in the store during crowded time either, I'll come back or I'll go somewhere else.
Yesterday I did see a person, in a non-mandatory mask grocery store, wearing a mask but walking up one of the aisles opposite the arrows. Hehehe, life's little amusing moments.
* I almost forgot about my asterisk. There is a bunch of easy to understand stuff out there about these masks and hygiene 101. And nothing sums it up better than this goodie from a month or two ago, something which I can't un-see:

I’m the same way, despite what the HPCON policeman thinks.
I don’t buy that non medical-grade masks are effective, but if a store requires it, that’s their right to do so, and if I need something from them, so be it.
Again, my belief can be best summed up as:
- freedom of choice. This is a two-way street. If a store says I need to wear it, that is their choice and I may honor their choice or leave. If a store does not require it and that makes a shopper uncomfortable, they may find another store, come back later, etc. But the big ticket is: FREEDOM OF CHOICE.
- if you think that mask is all that is keeping you from certain death, you should definitely stay at home. Bc if you’re betting the farm on a cloth face covering...
- it’s 6 feet of distance and a mask when that can’t be maintained, not 6 feet of distance AND a mask.

Directional arrows confuse 60% of the population, at least that is my observation over the past several months.
Again, if the mask is this panacea, what difference does it make? If everyone has to be walking the same way for the masks to work...newsflash: we are up a creek without a paddle.
Good empirical test of non N-95 mask.
He’s wearing a surgical mask. And he’s wearing it correctly. I would hope something a surgeon wears while doing his job would prevent a sneeze from soreading
I’ll go back and edit my post and say “non-medical” mask.
Has he done any tests with the cloth mask like the one I wear?
And I’m still waiting for a cogent explanation why masks only work in North America but not Europe.
Dude with an average mask worn by regular folk.
Cool. So a properly worn mask in a lab worked in this case.
Glad to see you Twittering. You should follow Alex Berenson. I think you’d really enjoy his stuff.
Now, can you answer the second part about why America and not all European countries, etc etc?
Nope
I’m not sure anyone really can, and that’s what confuses me. Granted I just have a BA, but I still have been led to believe that really good science should be universal in nature.
