Yale School of Public Health infographic discussing Covid precautions in the face of asymptomatic infections. 49% OF COVID INFECTIONS ARE ASYMPTOMATIC, which means you may not know if you are actually sick. This is why it's important to take a multilayered approach (one or more of the following) to protect yourselves and others: N95 and KN95 masks HEPA air filtration Good ventilation (carbon dioxide ‹800 parts per million) Up-to-date vaccinations Rapid tests before gathering Attention to wastewater levels of COVID-19 Sources: The Lancet Regional Health, CDC

  1. animated gif of three rows of human figures seated as if attending a theatre performance. the middle figure in the back, top row is coughing and their droplets and aerosols are shown travelling through the air, landing of people in the row directly in front and wafting overhead of the bottom row.

  “How long are you going to mask?”
