Скачать или смотреть Study Shows Mass. Residents Relaxing On Social Distancing, Contributing To Coronavirus Surge

Massachusetts measured more than 2,000 new coronavirus cases on Sunday and almost as many on Monday, as public health experts continued to sound the alarm about the size of the surge of cases the state might experience this winter. A new study from a consortium of universities measures the ways in which Massachusetts residents have let down their guard in terms of practicing social distancing, despite the state's success this summer at keeping case numbers relatively low compared to other states. To discuss, Jim Braude was joined by David Lazer, a Northeastern University professor and researcher with the group that produced the study: The COVID-19 Consortium for Understanding the Public’s Policy Preferences Across States; and Dr. Katherine Gergen Barnett, vice chair of primary care innovation and transformation and program director of the department of family medicine at Boston Medical Center.
