In all the coverage of the rioting, looting, attacks and intimidation, I have rarely heard about how shouting and yelling spreads the transmission of COVID-19.
Here is an excerpt from COVID-19 Guidance for Singing or Yelling - Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Public Health – June 2020: "Evidence around COVID-19 is ever-evolving. From what we know now, it is currently not safe to sing, or yell in close proximity to others. The Division of Public Health (DPH) is especially concerned about singing or yelling indoors, in crowded settings and in settings with vulnerable populations.Wearing a face covering and social distancing more than 6 feet can help mitigate the spread of infection when people speak, yell or sing.However,when face coverings are not used,additional precautions may need to be considered."
From what I could see, the protesters yelling in the faces of diners at close quarters were not 6 feet away from their targets. And every night there's an awful lot of yelling in the streets by people who seem to have nothing better to do than to wreak havoc,
Why isn't this flaunting of the rules getting more attention?
