Remember the board game Risk, where the goal was basically to take over the world?
Well, let’s play Risk COVID-19, in which you try to guess which activities put people more at risk for contracting the coronavirus that causes the disease. Find answers at the end of the article.
Ready? Here we go.
What’s more risky:
By now you probably have a good idea of which activities pose a greater risk catching COVID-19, so this might have been easy.
Your patients probably have a good idea of what’s risky, too.
But if they don’t, the Texas Medical Association COVID-19 Task Force and Committee on Infectious Diseases have created a chart that ranks activities on their risk level for COVID-19. The levels are based on input from the physician members of the task force and the committee, who worked from the assumption that – no matter the activity – participants were taking as many safety precautions as they can.
Click on the chart below for a printable version to share on your social media accounts or to display it in your office. A Spanish-language version is also available.
And don’t forget to remind your patients that no matter what they do, it’s best if they stay home if possible, wear a mask and maintain at least 6 feet of distance when they have to go out, and practice safe hand hygiene.
Find the chart and other tools, resources, and information on TMA’s COVID-19 resource page, which is updated constantly.
Finally, if you haven’t figured it out by now, the first activity listed in every question above is more risky – some much more than others.
CDC advice, “Don’t drink and shop.”
Stick with low risk activities. Apparently, you can riot and destroy whatever you want and have next to zero impact on COVIS-19.
Texting and driving.
Lighting buildings on fire in packed crowds for BLM 0
trump rally 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000
I think some of the scenarios are ranked wrong.
Waiting in a doctor’s office and flying in an airplane are less risky than going to church?
Opening the mail by far; PM or Freepmail me for “the rest of the story”.
And that brilliant piece of chart wizardry is based on WHAT, exactly?
exactly
Keep in mind these are not data based assessments they are opinions.
As I was opening my mail yesterday, I thought to myself, what if? What if the COVID was intentionally put in the envelope. I don’t put anything past some of these evil people who will use any means to destroy this country.
Gym rat here and very happy!
What if I’m drinking while couch shopping at home?
Depends on what country you’re in!..................
Scientism once again. Not real science, just bloviating by scientists who are using their “authority” as a scientist to lend legitimacy to their opinion.
Nothing to see here, move along!
BS
excuse me sitting in a doctors waiting room would be high risk!!!
