2) Here was the most risky and least risky by the 700 professional epidemiologists of @societyforepi.
3) “Three-quarters of respondents said they planned to spend Christmas, Hanukkah or other winter holidays only with members of their household, or not celebrate at all, similar to how they spent Thanksgiving.”
4) “When asked about the safest and riskiest activities on the list, most epidemiologists agreed on these general principles: They are less worried about outdoor activities and about touching surfaces, and more worried about indoor activities and those with large groups.”
5) “Indoor venues with lots of people is the riskiest situation,” said Leland Ackerson (my Harvard epi classmate) of the University of Massachusetts. “Outdoors with few people, social distancing and precautions is the least risky.”
6) Honestly VENTILATION is key. Both ventilation and masks needed to reduce risk indoors. But most buildings not ventilated well enough for gatherings.
