  1. Sorry to learn that British psychologist James Reason, a giant in the human factors field, passed through the final layer of the Swiss cheese a few days ago: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Re

  2. We should stop caring about whether or not the #LabLeak hypothesis is true.

    This is NOT like the fight around #airborne transmission. Knowing will NOT change what protections work and should be used, nor help us assess risk.

    It is both wise to ban gain-of-function research on human-transmissible pathogens AND it is wise to ban large wildlife markets.

    #MaskUp, #CleanTheAir, layer more #swissCheeseModel defenses, and look to the future.

  3. Ian MacKay’s #SwissCheeseModel describes the importance of multiple layers of protection against #RespiratoryViruses (not just Covid) - because no one method is perfect (imperfections are symbolised by the holes in the cheese)

    Multiple layers of protection improve the likelihood of avoiding and passing on infection.
