    You would prefer not to be breathed on.

    #Hanta virus is, I think, not very infectious, comparted to #Measles #Chickenpox #Influenza #COVID *

    In a previous emergency I was dubious about #vapes , as they emit a cloud of cool droplets from the lungs which goes a long way.

    How far can someone blow a smoke ring, except without smoke - a vortex ring?

  4. Measles outbreak is out of control in Bangladesh. We lost more than 400 babies already. Most are not old enough to be vaccinated. 😭

  5. R0 of:

    Measles
    12-18

    Covid
    1-7 depending on strain

    Hantavirus
    <1 for humans
    <2 for rodents
    2.1-2.7 for the cruise ship, only because they were in confined spaces.

    The reason we're seeing constant reports mentioning the 30% fatality rate is because that's terrifying, and therefore great click bait. Whereas talking about how unlikely human to human transmission (especially outside of confined spaces) isn't going to get eyeballs on advertising.

    It's covid and ESPECIALLY measles you should all be fucking worried about, tbh.

    R0 is the basic reproduction number of a virus, which is the average number of people an infected person will transmit to, assuming everyone in the population is susceptible (unvaccinated with no pre-existing immunity)
