COMMUNITY UPDATE
As the number of U.S. COVID-19 cases heads towards 5 million, you may be surprised to learn that 80% of those who test positive for the disease never infect anyone else. According to a new report from Fred Hutch, while people can shed the virus for weeks, they are most likely to be highly contagious for “only one or two days” -- often before experiencing symptoms – leading to a phenomenon known as “super-spreading.” Dr. Joshua T. Schiffer with Fred Hutch said that the best thing everyone can do is to, “assume they are infected and contagious when they are in public and do their best to protect others.”
KUOW reports that Washington state is on the downswing from a big peak of cases in mid-July. Our state’s coronavirus response team wants to remind everyone, “Our individual actions make a difference. Fewer, shorter and safer interactions are crucial.”
Thanks everyone!
