    Well, we now know how to stop #airborne #pandemics.

    (#CovidIsAirborne; #FluIsAirborne)

    We stop it with #HEPA filters, #CorsiRosenthalBoxes. And with #N95 / #N99 / #P100 #elastomeric #respirator #masks.

    But right now DOCTORS are blithely mass-infecting patients -- and of course nowhere else is doing anything either -- so our society is basically doing nothing and helping the virus spread.

    We should try doing something.

    I get really terrible PSAs from government agencies on my Facebook feed.

    I comment on all of them telling them they need to talk about how #CovidIsAirborne, #InfluenzaIsAirborne, #RSVIsAirborne, it's stopped by #N95, #N99, #P100 masks, #HEPA filters, #CorsiRosenthalBoxes, and I drop a link to its-airborne.org .

    Maybe I'll reach someone. I'm now doing more public health work than the CDC, WHO, or the state health department, which is ridiculous.

  3. @MaksiSanctum

    He didn't know about #N95 or #P100 #elastomeric #respirators. He didn't know about #HEPA filters or #CorsiRosenthalBoxes.

    The government and mass media just aren't giving people the information they need to defend themselves.

  4. @LordCaramac @luckytran

    Sadly, that's magical thinking. Such vaccines don't exist and may never exist.

    The pandemic ends when we #CleanTheAir with #HEPA and #CorsiRosenthalBoxes, and people use #P100 and #N95 respirators.

    We stop cholera with clean water -- NOT with vaccines, which aren't good enough.

    We stop Covid with clean air -- NOT with vaccines, which aren't good enough.

    We don't drink dirty water, why do we breathe dirty air?

    That's how this ends
    #CovidIsAirborne #Covid

  5. @munkinasack @amcglothin @darnell @ZeroCovidColin Yeah, that's a good writeup.... but it omits the most important thing.

    I just keep repeating the same thing, since Jetelina doesn't mention it.

    #N95, #P100, #KF94 (etc) #respirator #masks work very well against *all* variants. #HEPA filters and #CorsiRosenthalBoxes do too.

    They also work against #Flu & #RSV.

    Variants evolve to evade immunity -- they cannot evolve to evade masks & air filters, not significantly. #CovidIsAirborne #CleanTheAir

  6. @darnell @ZeroCovidColin

    Yes, hospitalizations are up. Hospitalizations are a lagging indicator, of course -- you're seeing it in NYC first.

    Yes, people are dying from #Covid at alarming rates nationwide -- the death rate overall is still 10% higher than it was in 2019! -- and it's rising.

    Same old instructions apply: get a really snug-fitting #elastomeric #N95 or #P100 #respirator #mask, wear it whenever out of your home, install #HEPA filters or #CorsiRosenthalBoxes at home & work...

  7. @underthestars AbromeEd and an independent school in Brisbane stopped in-school transmission by using enough portable #HEPA and #CorsiRosenthalBoxes, along with some masks -- more than a year ago now. It just works.

  8. @erictopol @linseymarr

    Thanks to both of you for this.

    This is great -- and it is still very much an explainer for scientists. We need something much simpler for the general public. And we need more repetition, so...

    #CovidIsAirborne. It spreads like perfume, and sort of like cigarette smoke, hitching a ride on tiny bubbles of water. It is removed from the air by #N95, #P100, and similar masks. It is removed from the air by #HEPA filters and #CorsiRosenthalBoxes.

  9. @luckytran

    Same instructions for people in #China as for people anywhere else: wear a #KN95 mask which fits well, or a #P100, or similar. Put #HEPA filters or #CorsiRosenthalBoxes everywhere.

  10. @shaktinah

    If you don't trust your children / parents / spouse / other household members, it is also very useful in private homes.

    I mean, I wish we could all trust our family members, but reality is... many can't.

    #SmallBusiness

    Small businesses should ALL have #CorsiRosenthalBoxes or portable #HEPA filters set up in their storefronts.

  11. @han_kyoul Chair spacing doesn't do much by itself, because #CovidIsAirborne and hangs in the air like cigarette smoke or perfume sprayed from a spray can.

    Request enough #HEPA filters or #CorsiRosenthalBoxes to clean the air every 5 minutes. Also ask that masks be required, and that #N95s be handed out to those who don't have them.

    This actually works. #CovidIsAirborne

  12. I am no messaging expert, but I've learned this much. I hope this helps.

    #CovidIsAirborne. It floats like fog or smoke and hangs around in the air. Wear a #P100 mask, or if you can't find one that fits well, an #N95. Use #HEPA filters or #CorsiRosenthalBoxes to clean the air in any building you control.

  13. @hsil I realize this is from way back in early 2020 -- what ignorance there was at that time!

    - Most diseases were not stopped by drugs, but by *public health*

    - #CovidIsAirborne
    - #CleanWater stops #Cholera
    - #CleanAir stops #Covid

    - #HEPA filters, #CorsiRosenthalBoxes, #P100 masks, #N95 masks, #FFP3 masks, #KF94 masks, these all work

    We end the pandemic by cleaning the air.
