New Study Indicates Asymptomatic People are Still Highly Contagious

There’s a new project called Covid Exit Strategy. The aim is to help states and the public see which steps have been taken towards protecting the public and opening the economy.

Ryan, with a little help from United States of Care, accumulated the various metrics organizations have put together to make progress in the states. Progressed is calculated based on how many of the 20 identified interventions are being implemented. Most valuably, there is a layout of missing actions, and a process for states to report updates. This is by no means complete and there are already things that will need to be added as they are available. Check it out at covidexitstrategy.org.
