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.
