When can we stop wearing masks? Agent-based modeling to identify when vaccine coverage makes nonpharmaceutical interventions for reducing SARS-CoV-2 infections redundant in indoor gatherings
Farthing, T. S., & Lanzas, C. (2021, April 27). (Vol. 4). Vol. 4.
TL;DR:
It is found that nonpharmaceutical interventions will often reduce secondary attack rates, especially during brief interactions, and therefore there is no definitive vaccination coverage level that makes nonpharaceutical interventions completely redundant, and the reduction effect on absolute SARS-CoV-2 infection risk conferred by nonphARMaceutical interventions is likely proportional to COVID-19 prevalence.

An Evaluation of Food as a Potential Source for Clostridium difficile Acquisition in Hospitalized Patients
INFECTION CONTROL AND HOSPITAL EPIDEMIOLOGY, 37(12), 1401–1407.
MeSH headings : Academic Medical Centers; Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Clostridioides difficile / isolation & purification; Cross Infection / microbiology; Enterocolitis, Pseudomembranous; Feces / microbiology; Female; Food Microbiology; Hospitalization; Humans; Inpatients; Male; Middle Aged; Missouri; Prospective Studies; Young Adult
TL;DR:
Stochastic modeling indicated contaminated hospital food would be responsible for less than 1 newly colonized patient per 1,000 hospital admissions, and modeling suggests hospital food is unlikely to be a source of C. difficile acquisition.
