Very interesting STUDY of people's perceived risks of contracting #COVID19 when around those infected.

Models show that risks increase/decrease exponentially with distance, but many think it changes arithmetically. In other words, we “underestimate the increase of risk in an approach to an infected person” and “are not aware of how fast risk decreases in a movement away from an infected person.” (1/4🧵 )
