Thank you so, so very much for this post, it was so informative!! Bless you and please be careful Dr. Risinger.
Excellent information. We must clarify all the information available. There are many scenarios we must think of.
that makes me feel better, I found out that I was in a space where a teen tested positive. We were all wearing masks and I had very little if not any contact with the person I am still getting tested, but only as a precaution. I am going to share this with my team at work, thanks!
Did you ever test positive?
@@tatianaflucker9417 no, nad thankfully no one else has as well.. thanks for asking
@@nearly-blindbrian8372 that’s awesome!
@Christy Risinger. Thank you Dr. Risinger for condensing and publishing information we can use to make informed decisions.
Hope you and your family stay safe and well. Have a Happy Independence Day.
This is THE BEST VIDEO which makes crystal clear about the risk of transmission in a particular situation. Thank you sooo much Dr for making such a profoundly impactful informative video on a topic which little bit confusing. Dr, you are doing greaaaat service to many people by allaying their fears and giving clarity. God bless you with all strength and health to continue this good work. I am also doctor (ophthalmologist)
Thanks for your videos again. Love from Dublin Ireland.
Some good information! Appreciate the more in-depth explanation of how exposure (to an possibly infected person) works in enclosed spaces versus outdoors.
Wow, you answered some of my question which I have been going crazy since the beginning. I feel more in charge and able to go to the grocery store without all that fear which is killing. Yes, I do wear mask, gloves, face shield but so fearful. I do have one question, how to handle the issue of visiting a dentist. Yest, I read cdc but I have compared how the protocol are different from some countries like Israel. From what I saw it seems they go to the extreme of taking precaution, going to a dentist is truly fearful for me and many others. Thank you .
I just had fillings at dentist last week. Today a call from dentist office saying I was exposed. Offered testing. Wouldn't say if it was staff or patient!!! I hate that. What to do now?
Those are some interesting examples of possible exposure to cause a problem. Thank You Dr Christy, and may God bless you.
I’d love to hear your advice for teachers who often can’t open the window to circulate air and are stuck in relatively small rooms with kids. We may be able to social distance (I teach HS and 6 ft shouldn’t be a problem) but with 90 minute periods, I’m concerned. Thanks for these videos!
Ok. It's really simple. The third dose increases immunity, so after the fourth dose you'll be protected. Once 80% of the population has received the fifth dose, the restrictions can be relaxed as the sixth dose stops the virus from spreading. I am confident that the seventh dose will solve our problems and we'll have no reason to fear the eighth dose. The clinical phase of the ninth dose will confirm that the antibodies remain stable after the tenth dose. The eleventh dose will ensure that no new mutations will develop, so there is no longer any reason to criticize the twelth dose.
🤯
Thank you for explaining this to us Doctor. Much of this information is very reassuring. I think it helps that your citations are specific and clear. Thanks again.
you are always so awesome with your inormation
Thank you for all your most informative videos, keep up the good work and stay safe and well!
Thank you for your informative videos. Re: the minimum infectious dose, do you have to be exposed to all 1000 particles at once or cumulatively over a certain period of time? Is there any info on how long this stays airborne or dissipates in various conditions? Are there any concerns about short range slipstream if walking/biking/open window driving in the slipstream of an infected person?
We love your videos the whole house is down and we loving your tips. The only place we went were grocery stores and gym in June. 😭
Thanks, Doc. I used to get scared to death when I go out to buy groceries. But just the same, social distancing, wearing masks, and frequent handwashing is the best defense.
Best info I've heard yet!!! Reasonable and Logical...thank you!
Please elaborate more about viral load
I suffered from covid 19 a month ago. And I'm really lucky that i watched your videos. Thanks for guiding us.
What were your symptoms
Thanks for the guids, I learn a lot, I am so lucky. Thank you so much Doctor ❤️
Kindly make a video on antibody test ,
Thank you for making this video
Thx Dr ,
You are really provide good information, thanks , love you ,
Please keep us updated on if we can get infected again after being positive once. Thank you Dr.
Hi, so if you could answer my question that would be so great! So my School just called a yesterday to inform US that I was exposed to Someone who has covid in one of my classes that all Take place in a classroom. What are the chances I Will test positive because ive been so stressed about it and I have a swab test tomorrow. So if you could please answer, that would be great! Thank you!
how safe are gyms? every gym i have gone to so far i have been the only one wearing a mask while everyone else wasn’t. I’m starting to worry i might catch it. also do masks lose effectiveness if they are wet due to sweat?
Thank you!🤎
Thank you!
Thank you for very informative video. Watching it from Bangalore. Stay safe too.
Thank you
Dr Risinger, based in the data you showed in your video, what’s your opinion about reopening baby nurseries and preschools? I have a two year’s son and I need him at school to extend my work journey at the clinic I work as radiologist. I’m pretty confident that my son will be safe from covid 19 in the preschool he attends.
Yes. I agree that he likely will be safe. Watch this video that I made about children and COVID czcams.com/video/9xqgLq7gWyc/video.html for more data around this.
Beautiful
I have someone at home with covid me and my kids were exposed to the person in the same room. I told him to get tested and to maintain hisself isolated but he didn't listen later to find out he was tested positive. My heart dropped me and my kids been away from him in our room since that person doesn't follow quarantine rules and refuses to keep his room door closed. I hope my kids and I won't test positive when we get tested.
What were your results
Months ago when I feared that I might have it I could not get a PCR test. Whatever I had it failed to produce anything close to life threatening. I can get a PCR test now but I no longer have any symptoms. Antibody tests are too unreliable to be used for finding out if you were previously exposed but no longer have the infection.
what if the person had two masks on , was around 6 feet away for around 45 minutes?
The gym reopened in my area, its a very large space, national chain gym. Masks are required but its not easy to keep that mask on when you are running on the treadmill, people pull them down to breath, both times I have been there since reopening I counted not more than 25 to 30 people, it is kept very clean and they have hand sanitizer placed about. Im not sure of the risk in this environment, ventilation is very good, air condition is on and large ceiling fans are running, you can feel air movement. This is in PA.
I think better doing Home workouts rather than gym, Why take risk, bro, going to a common gym, please stay safe
I was exposed should I get tested wait until I get symptoms? What if I test neg. Now then get symptoms?
U should wait about 3 days minimum after the exposure so that the virus should have has time to incubate. If not, u probably would have had a false positive
This is why the US is #1 in COVID.
This is good news. But when you spoke of viral load, that is a bit scary. This is not a simple virus. It is complex, right? I do feel the safest, at my age of 65, live alone. So far I have remained on course with CDC guidelines and have followed your postings for a couple of months or more now. Every day I check oxygen level and temperature. I also pay attention to eye protection with some really nice looking, low profile safety glasses that form an airtight seal. I wash my hands but not as often as I shuld. But when I got out shopping, I wash really well. Face and hands. Thank you Dr. Risinger
Since you mention the importance of fresh air, have you and your husband discussed his propensity to build super airtight homes?
They have air circulationsystems installed on them that can and oftentimes are hooked up to filtration systems. With proper systems you will be better off
I am a Risinger too.
While there is no PhD hanging on my wall, so take it with a grain of salt, I heard that kids do spread viruses more than adults. So while the kiddies might not catch it, or have many symptoms, they sure can spread it.

WEAR A MASK!
U r lucky to be a doctor.
🙂🙂
Everyone who doesn’t like to wear a mask should watch this video. Mask is no brainer. Who says that wearing or not wearing mask is about practicing their freedom, please think about not to hamper others freedom while practicing yours. Watch out those who are vulnerable around you. Its about life. Thanks. Wear the damn mask.
Lol I hugged my brother while he had a fever (I didn't know this was the virus)
At the end of the day . . . eye sleep.
Yes, all of my friends spit on me. That is a very serious problem.
Honestly can't remember the last time someone sneezed in my face...3rd grade maybe...
when was that last week?
President Trump hire this Dr. And fire the 3 blind mice
This is very inaccurate.
She sounds like the adviser of Donald Trump. Downplaying covid 19
