- 8. Can CoVID-19 becaught from a person who has no symptoms? The main way the disease spreads is through respiratory droplets expelled by someone who is coughing • The risk of catching COVID-19 from someone with no symptoms at all is very low. However, many people with COVID-19 experience only mild symptoms. • This is particularly true at the early stages of the disease. It is therefore possible to catch COVID-19 from someone who has, for example, just a mild cough and does not feel ill. World Health Organization. Q&A on coronaviruses (COVID-19). 23 February 2020.

Flatten The Curve Source:CDC, Drew Harris “If you think of our health care system as a subway car and it's rush hour and everybody wants to get on the car once, they start piling up at the door” Drew Harris “They pile up on the platform. There's just not enough room in the car to take care of everybody, to accommodate everybody. That's the system that is overwhelmed. It just can't handle it, and people wind up not getting services that they need” Drew Harris The Importance of Social Distancing • To keep hospitals and doctors’ offices from becoming overwhelmed with sick patients, the ultimate goal for public health authorities is to flatten this curve. • Social distancing measures can make a serious impact when they’re implemented early, so that, over time, all patients get the resources they need.
