I think that both are good measures, but different. If the denominator is all cases in PSB, then we are saying “of all the cases we have, what proportion are from in the building?” When we place all person-time in the denominator, we are saying “what is the incidence of COVID transmission in our buildings?” I think both are good questions.

Re: Long covid- I would also add that there are a substantial number of patients who repeatedly test negative for COVID but have very real 'long covid' symptoms. this is probably because other problems are "surging" at the same time as COVID- especially mental health disease and other health conditions that haven't gotten the proper attention b/c of the pandemic. So as Ben said, lots of smoke means something is happening, I would say there is probably more than one kind of fire. I think the same is probably true for kids, especially as we've said re: mental health crisis.

I think the masking is felt to have contributed most to low flu incidence
