The risk estimate was flat at 0.4% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-271.
That implies a 10% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30.

Great to see @theracp.bsky.social announcing a new position statement around illicit drugs and advocating for decriminalisation. Stopping the cycle of harm through keeping people out of jail and supporting them in improving their health makes so much more sense.
