I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of an airborne-transmission-informed #publichealth body, let alone one that knows how to communicate...?!? 🏆🏆🏆

"An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others."

🚨 Hospital corridors and nurse stations also matter. Li, Morowska, et al. (2025), show that simple ventilation improvements could cut airborne COVID risk significantly. Noting that 'common areas are critical zones'. #VentilationMatters #HAI #AirborneTransmission #HospitalSafety

We've seen what ⁨#EBM⁩ ⁨#EvidenceBasedMedicine⁩ produces;
on #Masking with #TomJefferson⁩ assisted by #Cochrane,
the decades of infectious respiratory disease research that poo-hooed #AirborneTransmission, and,
the RWNJ #CassReport⁩ on care for transgender kids.

Lots of bad stuff resulting from fetishising ⁨#RandomControlledTrials⁩ ⁨#RCTs⁩ as the only research that can be relied on.

Will we hear from Trumpists that there's no RCTs that support action on #ClimateChange?

#Masks and #respirators for prevention of #RespiratoryInfections: a state of the science review | Clinical Microbiology Reviews https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/cmr.00124-23 https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/cmr.00124-23 “there is strong and consistent evidence for #AirborneTransmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (#SARSCoV2) and other respiratory pathogens. Second, masks are, if correctly and consistently worn, effective in reducing transmission of respiratory diseases and show a dose-response effect. (1/4)

About 8 hours to go until the WHO/CERN zoom meeting where they will unveil the ARIA app and walk through CAiMERA model. It’s a tool designed to analyze COVID risk in indoor spaces. If you’re interested in clean air, Covid mitigation, airborne transmission and public health…. Should be fascinating!

It is #Airborne, it is #Breathtaking! @doctor_oxford.
'This may be the biggest takeaway from the pandemic.' #IndoorAir. #AirborneTransmission. #FaceProtection.

It's not rocket science, but it is science!
