Today's U.S. Cases (So Far)

0

Not to be all 'doom and gloom', but this number is scary.

We're a long way from a vaccine.

Project Naught is a campaign to encourage personal, one-on-one conversations with non-mask wearers.

Let's take Paul.

Paul hates wearing a mask. He believes his freedoms are imposed upon. He feels like he can't breathe. He sees the COVID-19 numbers on the news, but with the influx of COVID-19 coverage, he disregards it. In fact, he doesn't know anyone that has COVID-19, so he's not sure it's even real.

Welcome Paul's daughter, Patty.

While Paul doesn't believe the news, he does trust his daughter. Patty explains to Paul that masks help prevent infection to other people. She explains that if 80% of the population would wear masks, COVID-19 cases would drop 92%.

COVID-19

R-naught = 2.5 (no vaccine)

Seasonal Flu

R-naught = 1.3 (and vaccine available)

Ebola

R-naught = 2 (and Vaccine Available)

What is R-naught (R0)?

R-naught is an academic term to describe the infection rate of a disease. If the R-naught value of a disease is 4, that means for every single person, 4 people will get infected.

Instead of more people becoming infected, we have the power to educate the masses.

About Project Naught

This project is a privately-funded from a small, digital agency in Chicago. There's such a need for a movement like this, so we hope it may move the needle; even if it's just a bit.

Too many deaths. Too many hospitalizations. Too many businesses hurting. Too many people struggling. This is a movement about creating change at the grassroots level.

This isn't about one side versus the other. We're a better nation than that.

This is about working together for one common goal.

Together, we can win.
