We have been collecting contact pattern data since May 2020 with @GBrankston, @EricMerkley, and @PeejLoewen. The major change we observed this fall as cases climbed was that people began reporting MANY more workplace contacts (pretty much back to pre-pandemic contact levels) /1
In our fall data, the # of reported "social" contacts in the previous 7 days was low (the majority of our respondents continued to report significant reductions in contacts compared to pre-pandemic periods). /2
I think that we need to look more critically at what work is essential, move workers to WFH (despite what their bosses might prefer), and provide support for workers/industries who cannot WFM. Add paid sick days into the mix and we can likely slow epidemic growth /3
