Timely #ContactTracing does matter fighting #COVID19. In a new paper (➡️ bit.ly/394Ebuo) we study a bizarre #Excel error in England that caused 16k cases to NOT be contact traced. We econometrically can link this blunder to ~ 120k new cases & 1.5k deaths...🧵⬇️1/N

2/ Some examples of #publichealth harm reduction programs are needle exchange programs, where individuals using injected drugs can exchange used needles for clean ones. This lowers incidence of infections for which needle reuse increases risk of transmission.
3/ The emphasis is on reducing harm caused by something when it cannot be prevented entirely.
