Great visualization and I think this is helpful for people to understand transmission risks, but the estimator tool is still very limited due to knowledge gaps about minimum infectious dose, dynamics of viral shedding, and retention of infectivity in real-world conditions.

Yes agreed— article mentions that in the footnotes. Hoping people can take away the big picture here through better understanding of transmission using the visuals & act accordingly to minimize indoor activity etc — perfect being the enemy of good right now.

I totally agree and I especially like the way different scenarios are visualized in these graphics. It's really accessible to a wide audience and doesn't rely on metaphors that can be misleading.

I’m surprised that we aren’t seeing more of this type of output from sci-comm focused groups? or I just haven’t seen much of it...

I haven't really either, at least not in the US. Although the health ministry of Japan does have some really amazing material that also communicates this quite clearly (and adorably in some cases). https://corona.go.jp/en/

Japan’s science and science communication have both been extraordinary. Really impressive.

I agree. Japan’s crisis and science communication strategies have been really impressive. The United States science and crisis communication campaign is nonexistent.
