Interesting study out of South Korea regarding covid spread in a restaurant

[asp3]

There is a Washington Post article about this as well, but I found this free article that also reports on the study.

It may have limited guidance for those in the US and other countries because the type of air conditioner they use might not be used here, and many places in South Korea have higher temperatures and humidity than other locations. Those factors might be needed for the spread within a restaurant.

The Washington Post article has more criticism of the study and the value of the findings. Here is a link to that article.

"You can't eat with a mask on"; the most relative statement, imo. We're currently under stay-at-home orders here in Sacramento and all restaurants that are open can only do take-out and delivery. Reasonably so.

Hey, btw asp, thanks for posting an alternative link. I appreciate that. When websites ask me to turn off my ad-blocker or give my email addy and such before proceeding, unless those articles are really pertinent to me or my situation, I don't read them.

Sometimes at the bottom of those popups is a small little print that gives you a "No thanks" option to continue.

I know many people don't have Washington Post subscriptions so I try to find a free one when I find something interesting. If I don't find anything I'll post the Post link and if I find something later I'll update the thread.

It's a kindness I didn't want to go unnoticed

I appreciate it too because I don't have the post either.

Unless, of course, you’re a member of the Hollywood elite, and then you’re allowed to go maskless for the all-important award show. Or filming. Or in the French Laundry. But not the hired help, because, you know, they’re the little people. Lots of hypocrisy going on here. Lots and lots.
