The Swiss Cheese Respiratory Virus Defence

<p>An infographic I made to help clarify that in order to best limit personal risk and community risk from being infected by, or passing on, SARS-CoV-2 and any other respiratory viruses like influenza, RSV and rhinoviruses. We need to think of using a range of risk reduction measures. Each has its own failings and these can be affected by circumstances so layering them up helps avoid any single measure's (layer) problems (holes).<br> <br> Or you could just physically distance by living on an island, by yourself, forever! (I reckon we'll run out of islands).<br> <br> So instead, think about this layered approach originally outlined in 1990 by Prof James Reason.</p> <p>Based on Prof James Reason's analyses (e.g. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.1990.0090).
