The fastest ways to spread disease, in no particular order include: * Failure to use and maintain proper clothing and equipment (masks, eye shields, gloves, gowns, CPR mask, etc.) * Failure to follow proper hygenic protocols (washing of hands, covering of hair, proper clean-up of equipment) in the clinical or first aid setting. * Failure to maintain the sterile field. * Failure to properly dispose of non-reusable clinical equipment. * Failure to adhere to proper isolation techniques and protocols. * Failed quality control/assurance in pharmaceutical production, most notably vaccine manufacture. Reports vary but do indicate the chance at post-surgical infection as high as 30%+, with iatrogenic disorders as high as 13% per patient's stay in a hospital.
The fastest way to spread a disease is through close contact with an infected person, such as through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, or by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching one's face. Large gatherings and crowded spaces also facilitate rapid spread of diseases.
