The thing is, most people don't realize that it's dangerous. We don't have this culture of being aware of the dangers of the crowd. And yes, indeed, it's dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most important advice is to be aware there could be a danger if the crowd is too dense around you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Leave as soon as you sense the crowd getting too dense\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you start feeling uncomfortable, but you still have time and some freedom of movement — then just go away. It's something that people don't have in mind. They're like, \"Oh, I don't feel good, but the concert is nice, so I'm going to just keep pushing and go toward the concert.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, don't do that.

You don't want to be under this big pack of people. That's absolutely dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obstacles are terrible.

What's the cause of death?\" Well, the cause is not enough oxygen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're so densely packed that your lungs don't have enough space to do their job, and to keep you breathing. That's one thing that is superuseful that people should be aware of: The problem is going to be breathing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you can maintain sufficient space for you to breathe, you're going to be OK. Put your arms out just in front of your chest and hold them there. In this position, you would have some space, just a little bit, to push for half a centimeter or just 1 centimeter — enough for you to keep breathing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not going to be comfortable. You're going to be feeling really bad, but at least you'll survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Don't push. Move with the crowd\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a crowd, everything is about chain reactions. When you push your neighbors, they're going to push their own neighbors and it eventually hits an obstacle. Then the pushing is amplified — and it's going to come back to you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you feel a push, don't push back. Don't amplify this wave. Just go with the flow. It's not going to be comfortable, you're not going to like it, but it's the best way to behave in this situation. Don't add pressure in the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the worst moments, you have multiple pushing waves at once. This is what we call crowd turbulence. You don't want to be where two waves cross, because the pressures come from opposite directions, and that's really dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we observe crowd turbulence, we see death, a tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Avoid walls and solid objects\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we look at where the injuries and fatalities happen in a tragedy, most of the time they happen along solid obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes sense, because if you go with the flow of pushing waves, you're fine. But if you're next to a wall, you cannot just go along, because the wall is preventing you. So the wave is going to crush you against the wall. That's where you don't want to be — so avoid obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Learn to detect crowd density\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Density is really the critical variable, that's the first thing we measure. It's expressed as the number of people per square meter, and there are some thresholds:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below five people per square meter [about 10.7 square feet], it's fine. Maybe not comfortable, but it's fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Above six persons per square meter, it starts becoming dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eight people per square meter: Most of the time there are injuries or worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's superuseful to have a sense of that density, but it's not intuitive. Here's a tip: If you feel that people are touching you on both shoulders or on several places on your body at the same time, the density is probably around six or above. If you still have time and can move, get away. That's an alarm signal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If a crowd gets unsafe, look out for others\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helping behaviors and altruistic behaviors are kind of contagious in crowds. The same applies to individualistic or selfish behaviors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you try to help your neighbors, they're going to help you, or they're going to help their own neighbors. If this spreads, it creates a positive, helping atmosphere. It's going to make things less bad. So definitely, helping behavior is something you should adopt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2022 NPR.

That depends on a variety of factors like the amount of time you spend in a space with the virus, the concentration of infectious virus in the air and how heavily you are breathing, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the most prudent thing to do at this point is just lower your dose as much as possible,\" says Corsi.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Indoors? Pay attention to ventilation\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Indoor gatherings pose a higher risk because it's generally harder to avoid close interactions, and there isn't as much air flow, either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spaces without good ventilation can have tiny aerosolized particles hanging in the room and possibly infecting people. Corsi says it's not yet clear exactly how much of a role this plays in spreading infection, but there's growing evidence it can be significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what does all this mean for hanging out inside?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corsi says the best approach is to \"make the indoor environment more like the outdoor environment where we know the transmission is much lower.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means keeping the room well ventilated and regularly refilled with an outdoor supply of air. If nothing else, open the windows and turn on fans. Avoid places that are poorly ventilated where the air seems stagnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, of course, always wear your mask.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Think small and exclusive\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>During the pandemic, the best kind of party to host or to attend is for VIPs only. \"Keep the occupancy numbers low enough so people are not on top of each other,\" says Meschke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meschke advises limiting gatherings to close contacts who you know are being careful, and focus on what you can personally control, like maintaining distance from others and minimizing your time in confined spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people are drinking, people are going to lose track of things,\" says Meschke. Important things, like getting way too up close and personal, talking too loud, neglecting a mask or touching your face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not a good moment to expand your social bubble or let your guard down. \"There is no threshold here,\" says Meschke. \"Right place. Right time. Right host.

Then mask up, again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When people are not actively eating and drinking, make sure they're wearing their masks and that there is social distancing as much as possible,\" Levine says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Keep the noise down\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even outdoors, try to avoid situations where people are shouting. If you're the host, keep any music low, to limit the need for people to shout over background noise. Shouting or even talking loudly at close range can lead to more droplets being expelled. And no sing-alongs or karaoke. Singing can be a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6919e6.htm\">particularly potent way\u003c/a> of spreading small droplets that contain the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're at a gathering where the noise levels are rising and you start to notice people shouting, it's probably time to call it a night.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Have plenty of alcohol — for your hands\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you're hosting, stock up on the sanitizer, suggests Meschke. \"Make handwashing or hand scrubs readily available, keep squirt bottles on every table,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're going out, put a mini-bottle in your purse and use it often, whenever you touch shared surfaces, and especially after using the bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>BYO-Everything\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is not the year to have a gorgeous spread of finger food for your guests. \"I would urge people to not share food or drinks with others outside of your household,\" said infectious disease specialist \u003ca href=\"https://www.bumc.bu.edu/busm/profile/joshua-barocas/\">Dr. Joshua Barocas\u003c/a>, at a recent briefing by the Infectious Diseases Society of America. This includes food, utensils, bottles of rum, pitchers of punch, you name it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So bring your own goodies, or eat before you go.

That depends on a variety of factors like the amount of time you spend in a space with the virus, the concentration of infectious virus in the air and how heavily you are breathing, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the most prudent thing to do at this point is just lower your dose as much as possible,\" says Corsi.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Indoors? Pay attention to ventilation\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Indoor gatherings pose a higher risk because it's generally harder to avoid close interactions, and there isn't as much air flow, either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spaces without good ventilation can have tiny aerosolized particles hanging in the room and possibly infecting people. Corsi says it's not yet clear exactly how much of a role this plays in spreading infection, but there's growing evidence it can be significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what does all this mean for hanging out inside?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corsi says the best approach is to \"make the indoor environment more like the outdoor environment where we know the transmission is much lower.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means keeping the room well ventilated and regularly refilled with an outdoor supply of air. If nothing else, open the windows and turn on fans. Avoid places that are poorly ventilated where the air seems stagnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, of course, always wear your mask.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Think small and exclusive\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>During the pandemic, the best kind of party to host or to attend is for VIPs only. \"Keep the occupancy numbers low enough so people are not on top of each other,\" says Meschke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meschke advises limiting gatherings to close contacts who you know are being careful, and focus on what you can personally control, like maintaining distance from others and minimizing your time in confined spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people are drinking, people are going to lose track of things,\" says Meschke. Important things, like getting way too up close and personal, talking too loud, neglecting a mask or touching your face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not a good moment to expand your social bubble or let your guard down. \"There is no threshold here,\" says Meschke. \"Right place. Right time. Right host. And you can get infected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>How do you wear a mask while drinking?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Experts (and common sense) agree: It's difficult to wear a mask while you're drinking and eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Of course, you'll have to pull your mask down,\" says Dr. Rachel Levine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levine says do your best to leave room around yourself while you're consuming your beverages or barbeque. Then mask up, again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When people are not actively eating and drinking, make sure they're wearing their masks and that there is social distancing as much as possible,\" Levine says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Keep the noise down\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even outdoors, try to avoid situations where people are shouting. If you're the host, keep any music low, to limit the need for people to shout over background noise. Shouting or even talking loudly at close range can lead to more droplets being expelled. And no sing-alongs or karaoke. Singing can be a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6919e6.htm\">particularly potent way\u003c/a> of spreading small droplets that contain the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're at a gathering where the noise levels are rising and you start to notice people shouting, it's probably time to call it a night.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Have plenty of alcohol — for your hands\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you're hosting, stock up on the sanitizer, suggests Meschke. \"Make handwashing or hand scrubs readily available, keep squirt bottles on every table,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're going out, put a mini-bottle in your purse and use it often, whenever you touch shared surfaces, and especially after using the bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>BYO-Everything\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is not the year to have a gorgeous spread of finger food for your guests. \"I would urge people to not share food or drinks with others outside of your household,\" said infectious disease specialist \u003ca href=\"https://www.bumc.bu.edu/busm/profile/joshua-barocas/\">Dr. Joshua Barocas\u003c/a>, at a recent briefing by the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
