Expert Uncovers Shocking Truth About COVID-19 Transmission
The video effectively captures viewers' attention with an expert tone and provides valuable insights on the severity of the Covid-19 virus and its potential impact. The speaker stays on topic, provides specific examples, and establishes a personal connection with viewers. While the video has a clear structure, a call to action would be a welcome addition.I've spent my whole career tracking infectious diseases down, trying to stop them, trying to understand where they come from so we can make sure they don't happen in the first place, but most of all, trying to respond to situations just like this. What we saw in China, I'm convinced, as are many of my colleagues, as soon as they release all of these social distancing, these mandated stay-in-home, having left their home in weeks and weeks kind of thing, when they go back to work, they're on planes, trains, subways, buses, crowded spaces, manufacturing plants, even China is going to come back again. And so this really is acting like an influenza virus, something that transmits very, very easily through the air. Probably the best guesstimate we have right now on what limited data we have is say, this is going to be at least 10 to 15 times worse than the worst seasonal flu year we see.
