Super-Spreading Events Drive The Second CoVid Wave

from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/h5_z1TYkxtE   Social gatherings devoid of proper mask wearing, distancing, and surface disinfection during which one infected person passes CoVid to more than 6 others, so-called superspreading events, appear to be major drivers for our rising CoVid rates.  MIT mathematicians draw this conclusion from their analyses of 45 CoVid spreading events.   By constructing mathematical models of disease spread, the researchers show that the exponential spread of disease during such events is consistent with multiple clusters each initiated by a single infected person.    To combat CoVid , you must wear a tight-fitting mask with sub-micron filtration and stay as far as way as you can from others not in your immediate social bubble.   https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/10/30/2018490117   #covid #superspreader #mask #distancing #n95 #kn95
