Want to have friends over? This new COVID-19 calculator looks at the risk

https://www.localmemphis.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-covid-19-calculator-risk-for-shelby-desoto-crittenden-counties/522-2af7f047-ccaa-4562-a329-d0c3b5423f4f

From 10 to 10,000 people events, this risk assessment tool tells you the likelihood someone there has COVID-19.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Are you thinking about having friends over for a socially distanced BBQ? Maybe you are trying to plan a wedding or wondering what to do about that work event that was scheduled before the COVID-19 outbreak?

A new COVID-19 calculator created by Georgia Tech estimates your risk of exposure. One of the researchers says in Shelby County, even getting together with a group of 10 people is a risky situation.

Much more at link.

By the way, ya, let's cram 1,000 or so kids into each school. 🤬

It does appear to be a great tool.

Clearly shows why nobody should send kids to school! 🤬
