A recent study in Nature shows reducing your contacts could dramatically slow the spread of COVID-19.
We’ve heard that COVID-19 social bubbles can help protect you and your family from infections. Now there’s research to back that up.
One person is highly interconnected – in close contact with five other groups. The other has just as many individuals and connections, but the way they are connected slows the infection and flattens the curve. During their simulations of different networks, the researchers varied the types of interactions, including one they called a “small-world network” where every cluster is highly interconnected. Within the first few steps, many of the 2,000 individuals were infected.
