I don’t feel like digging through pubmed, but the CDC or HHS came out and said it turned out we didn’t need to be worrying about big droplets. Washing food and packaging was unnecessary.
But the truth was always there in the fine print. The cdc considered you exposed to covid if you spent a total of 15 minutes within 6 feet of someone shedding corona virus over the course of 48 hours. Even if both people were wearing masks. If you were wearing an N95, but weren’t a trained medical professional who knows proper mask hygiene, you were still considered exposed.
And as everything was winding down, the cdc’s mask advisory changed to the N95 being the minimum level of mask that provided any protection.
