4+ years into COVID and many still missing the nuances:
Often 6ft isn't enough, but increasing physical distance reduces risk
N95 are much better, but surgical masks do help
Outdoors is safer, but you can still catch it
Vaccines reduce transmission, but don't eliminate it

@luckytran what's the latest on vaccines and transmission? I thought it was settled that they reduce severity but ultimately useless re. transmission?
@ech @luckytran me too, my reading suggests a reduction in transmission rather than prevent, don't know how that works though as vaxxed and unvaxxed have similar load.
