we just had a holiday weekend..so I was expecting to see numbers go up..that..and many peole who catch the virus are eating out …
Many people who catch the virus report that they ate out, it does not mean they caught “covid” at a restaurant. Don’t be the msm, tell the truth or the rest of the story. Sbrysa, supposedly we’re really close to the next tier. I hope that’s true.
People who tested positive were twice as likely to have eaten in restaurants within the two weeks prior. Per NPR article dated 9.11.20.
Yes, there’s a correlation, but dining out has not been shown to be a cause. My guess: people who eat at restaurants are more likely to be out doing other things as well, so they have more exposure in multiple situations.
