⚠️If Hope Hicks traveled within close proximity to Trump aboard Air Force One—presumably while NOT wearing a mask—then Trump likely was exposed to the #coronavirus.

However, that does not necessarily mean it’s likely that Trump will be infected and/or get sick. 1/

A large study in #India of over 500,000 people showed that **only 8%** of #coronavirus-infected people accounted for 60% of all new infections.

These are “superspreaders.” 🦠 https://twitter.com/drdenagrayson/status/1311706737880301570?s=21
In this same study, the chances that a #coronavirus-infected person spread the virus to a household contact (CLOSE contact) was only 9%.

So while it’s likely Trump was exposed to the #coronavirus—assuming he and Hope were in close proximity—it’s not very likely that he will be infected or get sick.

This may be because only some people shed LOTS of virus (superspreader) that can lead to a productive infection. /x https://twitter.com/drdenagrayson/status/1311833945764433920
