Re: face shields As a researcher who simulate wind flows, I am puzzled with the insistence on face shields. Face shields causes intake of air to the regions beneath the shield to induce higher negative pressures. Higher negative pressure, higher particulate transport.

One of the alarmingly neglected scenarios in the previous studies on face shields is the scenario where the person wearing it is not facing the source. What if the cough/sneeze is coming from behind? The simulation shows that even the heavier droplets will make it to the face.

@jljcolorado @krishlex @YouTube @gideonlasco @DOHgovph @ntfcovid19ph @iamguidodavid @friaronwater Airborne or aerosolized transmissions? The path f on bech science to clinical practice is a long route. You need be cautious with dogmatic statements be cause lives are lost when the science and interpretation of evidence is wrong.

Another reminder: keep your windows shut during the passage of Typhoon #KardingPH . Opening windows is only done on tornadoes giving a rapid decrease in outdoor pressure due to suction. For typhoons, it will only cause additional wind uplift forces that can destroy your roofs.

To recall, during one of the dreaded spaces concerning face shields, when being brought up about Doc Gerry Bagtasa's study on face shields basically telling that they are useless, the host just dissed off the research claiming it was not "peer-reviewed".

For everyone's info who listened to that dreaded space. Doc Gerry Bagtasa is a professor at UP Diliman who specializes in atmospheric sciences. He is the one who lead the research that determined that pollution from China make its way to the Philippines.

Edsel Salvana is currently deleting his tweets to portray himself as the victim. Well, too late, we have the receipts.

This case is also why, in airborne transmissions, that we shouldn't allow horizontal wind flows in closed spaces. A portion of the airborne particles would make it in the region between the face and face shield while the rest are deposited at the front.
