There’s a new online tool that helps people calculate how risky certain activities are for catching Covid.  While nothing is 100% accurate or failproof, especially when it comes to this virus…..this tool is a good way to gauge how big of a risk you are taking with certain activities. For example, a fully vaccinated person has significantly increased odds of catching Covid from just 15 unmasked minutes in a car with another person. In fact, it’s riskier than grocery shopping for an hour. Of course, a lot depends on the State and County you live in, too. LOTS of variables here.

Whether you are vaccinated or not, it’s interesting and (hopefully) helpful information. Try it out here.
