I'm extremely unsurprised about this. Even with the current administration, they're not doing much to stop the spread. Right now it's all about trying to get people to accept shots (fair.. but you still have other things about the pandemic to account for) If you consider the spread of new variants and where the numbers are: They're not dropping, they're pretty high. (Illinois is still at high 2k-low 3k new cases a day and is staying steady) They've refused to accept the other nation's work for citizen certified stronger masks. They're still in the "wear a t-shirt" as a mask days. In fact they've tried to enhance that with double masking. (Note: Their statement is that that involves laying a cloth mask over a surgeon mask and that is only how they make that recommendation) The media took that statement and has modified that to double mask always. I've sent the CDC examples of articles where their message has been changed, I've gotten back nothing but form responses about "wear a mask". Additionally, they've outright ignored findings from other nations about the spread patterns found in restaurants (In Korea it was identified to have traveled 18m in a restaurant), the asymptomatic spread in kids, ignoring long COVID, and spread in long haul flights. Instead they let things run rampant. Many health organizations even force you to downgrade your mask for their weak surgeon mask to be seen by them. On masks: Korea has the KF94 China has the KN95s (however, those certs on those have been faked) Europe has the FFP2 standard (Germany did the right thing and require it) For the numbers on effectiveness see Aaron Collin's work: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3fF_rzkmZD0ufN685YE7lg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3fF_rzkmZD0ufN685YE7lg
