7. How can we prevent getting infected with the coronavirus?

Part 7 of 8 in a video series titled, "Scientific Insights into COVID-19: What six months of research has revealed about this new disease."
New COVID-19 outbreaks are possible. Thus we need to prevent the spread of infection. Social distancing combined with facemasks is a very effective way to prevent the spread of infection.
Concepts reviewed in this video:
1. Potential for new coronavirus outbreaks.
2. Connecticut curve of infections.
3. The main way SARS-CoV-2 is shed is by tiny respiratory droplets.
4. Main sources of COVID-19 infection.
5. Prevention of infection by infected surfaces (fomites).
6. Prevention of infection by symptomatic people.
7. Prevention of infection by pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic people.
8. Asymptomatics, pre-symptomatics, and mildly symptomatics are infectious.
9. Social distancing.
10. Facemasks.
11. Outdoors versus indoors risk of infection.
