There is no need to wear a mask outdoors

The Center for Disease Control lied.

Instead of ten percent, it is one-tenth of one percent.

Or a person has a one in a THOUSAND chance of getting a virus from another person while outdoors.

Or less.

“There is not a single documented Covid infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interactions, such as walking past someone on the street or eating at a nearby table,” said David Leonhardt of the New York Times.

Here is the CDC’s press release dated April 27th from the White House:

Paragraph 80, a third of the way down on the White House press release linked below:

The New York Times caught the White House lie.

And wrote about it here:

The first one, however, to report it, however, was Dr. Monica Gandhi.

She is a Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

How did the director of the Center for Disease Control respond?

Lie and deny.

According to Dr. Muge Cevik, a virologist at the University of St. Andrews, the outdoor transmission of viruses could be below one in a thousand.

Prof. Mike Weed said he studied 27,000 Covid-19 cases at the University of Canterbury.

They were based on 6,000 different pieces of data.

One study was of 7,500 cases in China and Japan before lockdown in both countries.

The number of cases associated with the outdoor transmission was “so small to be insignificant,” Prof. Weed said.
