Value Of Masking, Distancing, and Washing
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/7y_M8xSffv0
MDW, MDW, Mask, Distance, and Wash, I can’t say it often enough. Now a just pre-published study from Thailand’s Topical Medicine Research Unit puts numbers on the value of these critical public health measures.
Studying 1050 subjects either CoVid-infected or not, the researchers show that mask wearing reduces risk of CoVid infection by 77%. Distancing more than one meter cuts infection risk by 85%, limiting close contact to less than 15 minutes 76%, and hand washing 67%. On the other hand, sharing a cigarette or a dish more than tripled the risk of infection.
In order to beat CoVid, we all must follow the numbers and mask, distance, and wash.
