The 3 types of COVID19 interventions

And how to tease them apart

When it comes to COVID19, there are 3 broad categories of things we did/ are doing in response:

1.     Things that lower your risk of severe illness, death, hospitalization

2.     Things that delay the time until you encounter/ contract the virus

3.     Things that do not even delay the time to encounter the virus (aka things that don’t work aka Pandemic Theater).

Let’s run through the categories.
