Which Interventions Stop CoVid Spread

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

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/huM7v68jnQg   Closing schools turns out to be the single best non-pharmaceutical way to halt CoVid.  This the conclusion of an international collaborative meta-analysis by university number crunchers in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.   The data from 41 countries show that school closings have a 58% effectiveness, restricting gatherings to 10 or fewer 24%,  closing non-essential businesses 23%, closing high risk businesses 19%, testing those with respiratory symptoms 18%, and stay at home orders 17%.   We have a dilemma: kids attending school then bring CoVid home and transmit it to multiple generations including the vulnerable.   Yet closed schools equals closed workplaces.  The solution: testing all children and their contacts.   https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.28.20116129v1.full.pdf   #covid #schools #children #work #testing
