What’s the most likely place to catch coronavirus? I would posit it’s probably hospitals. If an elderly person needs to go to a hospital for any reason these days, I would guess they get taken to one full of other elderly people with coronavirus. I wonder what effect this might have on the results.
- yulaow 7y agoIn italy hospitals are right now divided in two parts. One is for covid positives only and the other for covid negatives only. The staff which works in one part does not work in the other and has no contact with any member of the other one. Even ambulances are separated and with independent staff.

The first point being "Divide your department into resp patients and non-resp patients."
