. “With that number of hospitalizations, you can overwhelm the system and get into situations where there’s insufficient care available for all the people that need it,” says Larsen. “We want to avoid being in a position where doctors are trying to decide who gets a ventilator, where there’s not enough available for the people who need it to continue living,.” Healthcare professionals may also start to get sick, bringing down the quality of care and triggering a rise in fatality, he notes.
, practicing social distancing is important. One problem with COVID-19 is that some people, especially those who are younger, have only mild symptoms or none at all. “New science suggests that people can spread the virus before they are symptomatic,” says Larsen. “There’s what’s called a latency period between the time when you are infected and when you exhibit symptoms.” This means that someone who seems pretty healthy could infect others without even realizing they carry the virus.
Unfortunately, testing isn’t widespread right now so we don’t know exactly who has COVID-19, which makes it more difficult to contain. “It is believed that one positive person can transmit the virus to two or three other people, which results in those two to three affecting more people,” says
