The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) exaggerated the rate of outdoor transmission of the coronavirus, according to a report by The New York Times (NYT).





The CDC announced in April that a majority of COVID-19 transmission happens indoors, with "less than 10 percent of documents transmission" occurring outdoors. The NYT, however, reported the number is misleading and is based on a misclassification of how some cases of the virus were spread.



Virologist at the University of St. Andrews Dr. Muge Cevik said the number "seems to be a huge exaggeration," according to the NYT.



The NYT reports outdoor transmission appears to be less than one percent and could even be lower than 0.1 percent. The transmission that does occur outside is typically a result of crowded spaces, according to the report. The CDC's claim that COVID-19 transmissions are less than 10% is reportedly  "deceiving."

Leger Surveys North American Tracker

 - https://leger360.com/surveys/legers-north-american-tracker-may-11-2021/">61% of Canadians and 41% of Americans agree their government should implement a vaccine passport.

If their governments achieve their vaccination goals, approximately three-in-five or fewer Canadians and fewer than half of Americans think that various private business owners should have the right to limit access to their business to people who have valid proof of vaccination.

 That makes sense and does not contradict what I  posted, and adds to it  - It is a different area (country to country travel)



What I posted is internal to country of residence only (public events and places to go into within one's country)

We always seem to have lower numbers at the start of the week, so we'll see what happens in the next few days.
