Bands

Minimal Infectious Disease Exposure

Expressions activating this band contain little to no clear infectious-illness content, or only very general references to health, contact, or everyday circumstances without a specific contagious threat.

Low Infectious Disease Exposure

Expressions activating this band refer to general risk, contact, or potentially harmful situations that could affect health, including broad mentions of exposure, injury, or unsafe behavior, without clear evidence of direct contagious illness involvement.

Moderate Infectious Disease Exposure

Expressions activating this band describe plausible or documented exposure to contagious illness, hazardous environments, or illness outcomes such as sickness, emergency care, or death. The disease threat is concrete, but the expression centers on exposure or consequences rather than confirmed personal infection.

High Infectious Disease Exposure

Expressions activating this band describe direct personal involvement with a contagious illness through probable or confirmed infection, testing, or explicit disease-specific status.

Severe Infectious Disease Exposure

Expressions activating this band describe intimate or consequential proximity to contagious illness, such as infection within the home or close circle, witnessing death, or making high-stakes care decisions during an outbreak. The disease experience is immediate, socially close, or tied to grave real-world consequences.
