Why social distancing matters

Wear a mask AND keep your distance! It's the combination that helps control the spread of COVID-19. See the video here. If 95% of people in the US wear masks and keep their distance, we can prevent 33,000(!) deaths in the next 3 months. That's about the same number of people who have already died in New York State.

I made this video for the University of California, Berkeley in April. It's just as relevant today. Without social distancing (6 feet or 2 meters), the infection will spread--and fast!
