The Government has been urged to ban the use of perspex screens in pubs, restaurants and offices. Not only is it reported that they don’t stop the spread of Covid – they may actually increase transmission.
When the infectiousness (secondary attack rate) of the Delta variant over time is plotted against that of other variants it becomes clear that claims it is hyper-transmissible make no sense.
