@CDCgov @CMSGov OK, but testing is totally ad hoc, so the data will still be extremely limited. All patients should be tested during and after their stay. NO ONE should be getting airborne infections in the hospital.

@DrTedros @WorldGovSummit We’re not in the “aftermath of” SARS. For example, the level in USA wastewater is higher than the corresponding day in *any* previous year including 2022: and 4810 USA SARS deaths were officially acknowledged during three weeks around the new year holiday.

@CDCDirector While you were out @PressSec claimed the federal gov't delegates all decisions about masking in healthcare to the states. Please correct her statement, because you are in fact deciding that via HICPAC. Also please tighten up HICPAC's recommendations to require N95 respirators.

@drvolts Others have pointed out the absurdity of "brought Covid under control," but let me add, in the intersection of Covid and climate, forcing office/knowledge workers to commute instead of work remotely--as Zients is doing to federal employees--is bad for both health & environment.

@CDCDirector @CPHO_Canada Dr. Tam @CPHO_Canada you have often modeled respirator use even when your colleagues did not, for example at WHO meetings. This would have been a great opportunity for that. You do not report to @WHCOS and you should not be subject to the anti-mask whims of the USA.

@DrTedros @WorldGovSummit When Dr Ryan convinced you to retract your comment that SARS (Covid) is airborne, that fact had already been doc’d 16 years prior at Amoy Gardens in HK, and China had airborne precautions for SARS-CoV-2. When you say “painful lessons” is this included?

A tragic U-Turn for the history books! Watch closely what happened AFTER @drTedros said what he already knew: “Corona is airborne!" (Feb. 11, 2020) One quick intervention of @DrMikeRyan and @drTedros changed his statement: suddenly the virus spreads via droplets... #WhyMike ?

@YMAPodcast Respirator masks that do not let the breath "go around" (N95/FFP2, P100, etc.) work much better than masks that do allow the breath to go around (cloth, "surgical," etc.). And they all reduce the viral inoculum to varying degrees. People w many nose shapes pass fit tests in N95s.

As invidual scientists go on blocking sprees, don't forget, there's more and more research coming out on Covid, including Long Covid and immunology. Should there be more research and more action? Yes! But, in case you missed it, some recent bangers:

@michael_hoerger They also explicitly excluded post Covid symptoms if, in their opinion, they didn't interfere with the kids' quality of life. This subjective discarding of a real phenomenon already raised alarm bells before the eventual confession and retraction.

@gregsaysso @Tim_Bousquet The researchers are intentionally filtering based on a quality-of-life scale: that is, excluding kids who have long-term symptoms so long as the impact on their quality of life is not considered significant. That's at least part of the story behind their 0.5% estimate.

@CIDRAP Both WHO and CDC are trying to memory-hole this mistake by eliminating the *words* "droplet" and "airborne" but *not* upgrading to airborne precuations. That's happening right now, along w/ lack of precautions in healthcare or anywhere else, & rampant asymptomatic Covid spread.

Yeah bro in Rogan's latest podcast he says WOKE IS AIRBORNE. For real. Just like sawdust, the only other thing that a mask could possibly block. Here, you better take this work mask to protect yourself.
