What Spreads COVID More? High Touch Surfaces v. Air Transmission. Answered by Dr. Martin Bazant

Описание: When we go to the grocery store, we are required to wear masks and maintain at least six feet between the other customers. When we enter, we have the option to wipe down our grocery cart, which is a high touch surface. We take all of these necessary precautions to ensure we don't contract and spread COVID. However, have you ever stopped and taken a moment to ask yourself, what spreads COVID more? Do high touch surfaces pose a greater risk than air transmissions? Can any cases be attributed to either method of exposure, and if so, how many?

To help answer these questions we had Dr. Martin Bazant on the podcast. Dr. Martin Bazant is an MIT Professor who has recently created a model to track the spread of COVID. By analyzing how the particles spread through the air, he is able to provide insight into when we are actually at risk, and what steps we can take to mitigate extreme exposure. He explained what poses the greatest risk of spreading COVID, and what steps we can take to prevent this. It's a clip you won't want to miss.
