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.

Honestly I don't know how it looks from the outside but the science communication was *not great* and have contradictory advice ALL THE TIME. Mostly in an effort to blame the pandemic on red light districts and keep people commuting/working in crowded unventilated spaces.

Eg, for the longest time the government insisted that going inside restaurants at night was dangerous while going in during the day was fine. Going to host clubs = danger, going to closed office = fine.

Foreign residents on a plane = too dangerous to even attempt quarantine, Japanese people on a plane and not respecting quarantine = not that dangerous. Etc. We don't have the same misinformation as you guys did, but we have our fair share with different underlying motivations.

I believe the internal appearance could be very different. We’re just commenting on the brochures and documents that have been produced. Those are excellent!

Absolutely. I shared some of the "three Cs" documents in a seminar I was giving to a general audience in the US and the feedback I got was that it was a really clear way of communicating transmission risks and provided straightforward advice on mitigation.
