Health care experts have warned that Americans need to continue to socially distance and observe other public-safety measures to prevent the spread of the virus. The best way to avoid infection is to keep at least 1 meter apart and wear face masks and eye protection, according to a review of studies on COVID-19 transmissions that was published in medical journal The Lancet on Monday.
The virus is most commonly spread by droplets, that are released when people cough, or speak loudly. That means people joining protests, and the people already gathering in bars, in parks and on beaches across the U.S. without social distancing, are putting themselves and others at risk.

Might explain why the virus spreads faster among some cultures that talk loudly ...
And refraining from spitting on the nearby pedestrian also helps.
Mexicans speak softly. Cubans not so much. A study is needed!
We have a much better study of coronavirus transmission in an ongoing trial right now.
If there isn’t a huge spike of CV in the cities inundated with protesters and rioters in the next ten days then Covid-19 is over. A non-concern. A nothing burger.
Great point !!!
I am calling BS on this propaganda lie. I am tired of the lies. Their credibility is dropping like a stone.
Maybe that is why the virus tore through nursing homes.
Lots of people with poor hearing in nursing homes. They tend to talk loudly.
/S
This study must be designed by a satirical nose ring wearing millennial
Thanks. It really should be a hot and heavy spike, not some minor bump, or else everything they sold us about CV is a bunch of BS.
What happened to the 6 foot rule. Now it is down to 3 feet. Soon it will be 6 inches.
Lancet has been known to not only be wrong many times before, but also to be very anti-American, esp. if there is a conservative president in office.
Just suggesting .....
Yup, we have a reliable set of metrics since mid May. The outside incubation frame is 13 days. Before summer, we’ll know without uncertainty what held the country captive.
And the protests riots started 5? 6 days ago?
It is going to be 105 degrees here in Sacramento tomorrow. The virus lasts 60 seconds in 105 degree heat. You can’t put your groceries in the trunk and break out the hand sanitizer in that time. By the time you wash your hands, the virus is dead.
Finally, the science comes in to support the use of face masks. However, the article diverts to Trump’s photo-op at St. John’s Church. The inaccurate conclusions about Trump’s church visit were a diversion from any useful data about the face mask study.
As they say, if you tell a lie often enough . . .
So a meta-analysis that concludes “N95 respirators might be associated with a larger reduction in risk compared with surgical or similar masks”... And, of course, N95 masks must be fit tested or they are essentially useless. But, hey, let’s reaffirm the talisman mask to the populace with our headline.
Very early in the progress of the disease, the USA, and Vietnam, both had 16 cases.
16.
Vietnam, responded by requiring every single person, to wear a facemask, every day.
America did not.
I do not know if that is why.
I do not know if that is not why...
But it seems interesting to me, anyway.
The thugs were wearing masks way before the COVID over reaction/tyranny.
They LOVE the fact that with everyone wearing them, it's easier to be a thug.
I honestly don't know how we as a people break out of the Cult of the Mask. The corrupt mayors, governors, bureacrats will NEVER give us back our freedom willingly.
