Do this offers almost no protection against Covid, a new study put said
The researchers questioned the guidelines had issued by the CDC and.
For more than a year now,protect yourself from COVID Involved wearing a facial mask, you socially distinguish from six feet and avoid crowds, in accordance with disease control and prevention centers (CDC). And even if the number of vaccinations between the United States continues to increase, many states still havePublic health precautions in place to avoid spread to those who are likely. But a new study of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that a largely practiced health precaution will really beKeep yourself safe from Covid when you are inside. Read it to see what researchers have found could always put the public at risk and for more than masks can longer,Dr. Faisci has just said that you may not need a mask when you do it very soon.
Social distancing inside will not keep you safe from Covid.
The study, which has recently been examined by peers and published in the newspaperActs of the National Academy of Science of the United States of AmericaComes from a pair of researchers at the MIT that aimed at quantifying the risks of exposure presented by COVID during the interior. After examining factors such as the size of the crowd, the use of the mask, the time passed inside, the vaccination levels, the circulation of the air and the activity, such as speaking or singing, the Results have shown that the practice of social distancing inside has virtually no protection against the spread of the virus.
"We are really pleadingis not a great advantage at the six-foot rule, especially when people wear masks "Martin Z. Bazant, PHD, one of the authors of the study that teaches chemical engineering and mathematics applied at MIT, said during an interview with CNBC. "It really does not have any physical basis because the air a person breathes while wearing a mask tends to ride and go down elsewhere in the room, then you are moreexposed to the average background that you are to a remote person. "
And for more on the effects of the virus, know thatCovid leaves this in your body even if you are asymptomatic, a new study says.
The results show that people are "as safe six feet as you are 60 feet" inside the interior.
Bazant explains thatCurrent public health guidelines have focused on the bad things that would prevent security people. "This focus on distance was really lost from the beginning," said Bazant at CNBC, claiming that "the CDC or WHO (World Health Organization) has never really provided the justification". Instead, most of their recommendations for capacity control and spacing are based on how particles could be circulated or sneezing, despite the distribution of most people who spread the virus are asymptomatic .
"Distancitation does not help you so much and it also gives you a false sense of security, because you are as safe at six feet because you are 60 feet if you are inside. Everyone in this space is by little Near the same risk, in fact, "he said. And for more where you should not be after having your shots,The CDC warns you to avoid this place, even if you are vaccinated.
The authors of the study support guidelines should focus on the time spent inside, no capacity.
The study also pointed out that while internal capacity restrictions can help prevent people from clashing each other, it is actually the amount of time spent in space thatIncreases the risk of infection. According to their projections, even up to 20 people in a smaller space could be careful if they are capped about a minute. However, the same groupspend hours inside would significantly increase their probability of catching Covid.
"What our analysis continues to show is that many spaces that have been arrested do not need to be. Often, the space is big enough, the ventilation is good enough, the amount of time that the people pass together are such that these spaces can be done safely even at full capacity and scientific support for a reduced capacity in these spaces is really not very good, "said Bazant CNBC." I think if you run The numbers, even for many types of spaces, you would find that there is no need for occupancy restrictions. "

The authors of the study agree that the policies of use of the outer mask could be removed in most cases.
Although his study can focus on the risk of internal transmission, Bazant also talked about social distance andwearing masks outsideas a precaution of security. He said that without the dangers created by a small ventilation, there were only some cases where it would be a problem.
"If you look at the airflow on the outside, the infected air would be swept and very unlikely to cause a transmission. There are very few recorded outdoor transmission instances," he explained . "Outdoor congested spaces could be a problem, but if people keep a reasonable distance from three feet outside, I feel comfortable with that even without masks frankly."
