Wow. I'm impressed by the research you've already done! Well done. If someone on our team has access to any more research than you do, that's amazing. Although I doubt we do. Have you considered an approach that's based in mostly being in separate rooms for a week or two, rather than trying to quantify the risk? I know some cats tend to want to do that anyway when moving into a new space. Perhaps that's not the most helpful response, but I thought I'd offer it as it seems more reliable than any amount of research (given that you're only encountering this issue one time). |

Tab cleanup, here is a list of other research I was working through. I know the chances are long that anybody will ever need this, but, I'd like to save that future hypothetical person some time if possible. Disclosure: I have not finished reading all of these papers.

An update: modeling the risk through the cat continues to be an issue because cats have to go to the vet sometimes. Cats can't be masked or vaccinated, so it is very easy for the microcovid count to rack up extremely fast. |

I'm in the process of retrieving a cat from a high-risk household. So, I'm trying to figure out what sort of exposure risk that looks like to my pod (and to evaluate various options to mitigate it.)
Here are some of the sources I've found so far:
Does anybody have any ideas how to model this risk? Has anybody seen anything else useful?
