Decreasing Ontario's 100,000 projected deaths to 3,000 requires >70% effective physical distancing in most models. Does anyone have a good way to explain X% effective social distancing?

Excited about my new book: "Relax, Dammit!: A User's Guide to the Age of Anxiety" amazon.ca/Relax-Dammit-Users… Out April 28!
So many of our daily decisions – big & small – are influenced by fearmongering, misinformation, & bad science. Let's cut through the noise!

Sleep is one of the most requested predictors for many of our calculators. We are at the national strategy on sleep and circadian rtythms to look at options to add. Sleep problems are likely a more important public health burden than we all realize.
