People who tested positive for COVID-19 were twice as likely to have dined at a restaurant: CDC study

Mask-wearing was comparable between the two groups: 71 per cent of the participants with COVID-19 wore a face covering in public, compared to 74 per cent of those who tested negative. Likewise, they engaged in activities which can result in a risk of community exposure. Researchers found similar rates in case- and control-patients when it came to shopping, going to a salon or gym, and attending in-home gatherings or religious services.

“In addition to dining at a restaurant, case-patients were more likely to report going to a bar/coffee shop, but only when the analysis was restricted to participants without close contact with persons with known COVID-19 before illness onset,” the researchers noted, adding that cases of COVID-19 exposure in restaurants have been tied to air circulation.

Despite the limitations, the researchers highlight that eating and drinking at restaurants and other foodservice establishments “might be important risk factors” associated with COVID-19 infection. “Efforts to reduce possible exposures where mask use and social distancing are difficult to maintain, such as when eating and drinking, should be considered to protect customers, employees and communities,” they wrote.

The when actual stats don’t scare people enough they use this kind to keep the hysteria going. Truly the new terrorism.

That’s what the mayor of Nashville said and it was a fraud. We know the risk so duck off

Not a canadian study

“The majority of this close contact (51 per cent) took place among family members.“ this is what we call family ties. who can we hurt easily, of course the family .

In Nashville, only 22 cases were traced to restaurants and bars. The city was just caught in their own emails, purposely hiding it from the public to support their massive shutdown and tax hike due to Covid. Why do you always just report one side?

100 days of protests, riots and looting are for some reason never mentioned as a major cause of the spike. This is nothing more than propaganda.

So people with a life have more chance to get Covid... and not die of it

Tiny sample

Because they are just living their life like normal. Don’t want to be inconvenienced, well good luck with covid19

Omg. Fuck right off.

Ban all restaurants next? fordnation

CDC has lost credibility with their ever changing stance & remarks. Fauci say it was okay to have Tinder hookup. Tam with her remarks about masks & sex. BC Hlth saying glory hole sex is acceptable. It’s a virus with no vaccine that has mutated so it’s going to be challenging...

Please, give me a break.

Deaths and hospitalizations are flat. The media organizing with the government for another shutdown. This is criminal.

Based on what your opinion LOL

What % of restaurant eaters test positive. Oh, ok ... rewrite article when have that.

National Post is garbage. Correlation is not causation. Its dangerous to read Canadian media.

According to experts, everyone that has tested positive for covid has eaten carrots.

FO. You have no idea where they got it. Instead of spreading fake news why don’t you try and help small businesses instead of crapping all over them. Garbage media.

scamdemic2020 hoax hoax hoax, government control is the objective not the safety of Canadians

Meh. They’ll live. Probably
