1. With the BA.2 wave here in MA, it is worth asking what the @CDCgov "community levels" tells us to do, when it will tell us to do something different, and what this means. I'll look at Suffolk County, which includes Boston. 🧵— Jon Levy (@jonlevyBU) April 15, 2022

Hospitalizations doubled in MA and current CDC risk level is “medium” with proposed measures being talk to your doctor about wearing a mask if you’re immunocompromised

    That's not to do with masks, but lack of ventilation. Indoor air quality in general is pretty bad due to poor ventilation. It's why you should always open a window when you can. Many buildings take shortcuts with ventilation.

    The tweet you've linked says nothing about masks affecting air quality, it's saying that a triple effect of no maks, lack of ventilation and lack of air filtration causing a spike in COVID 19 cases.

    SF schools no longer require masks, but surprisingly also no longer require #Ventilation or #useHEPA filters. Triple whammy as it were. (CO2 in one classroom over 3000ppi and a positive Covid test in same room)
