COVID19 (airborne virus) transmission mitigations

[Shedman]

This is from the excellent ‘virologist downunder’ @MackayIM on twitter..

..latest version of his layered/layers of mitigations..

now with division in to personal responsibilities and shared responsibilities:

The Swiss Cheese Respiratory Virus Pandemic Defence

- recognising that no single intervention is perfect at preventing spread.

[ *Edit: changed image to latest @MackayIM v4 update, plus 3rd party edit..

That is: Ian added misinformation mouse; 3rd party made the mouse plural (mice) and added anti-misinformation cat. ]

James Reason designed the Swiss Cheese model 20 years ago!

Zoom in on bottom right of image to see the acknowledgement to original concept (which was of other safety issues) — it is in light colour to avoid detracting from the purpose of the model image.

It looks very sensible and should be easy to follow, but a lot of people are not, unfortunately.

Indeed, so very many have lost sight / failed to realise ..that most steps required to curtail transmission of this highly transmissible virus, with variable and very serious associated harms, are quite standard public health measures.. nothing new nor exceptional; fail to realise that they are not themselves PH experts, fail to grasp the perspective of prior pandemics / outbreaks / and success stories.. Easily done, especially where encouraged with frankly stupid and/or false messages coming from politicians and those with mysterious agendas, far away from public health and well-being.
