1/ "SARS-CoV-2 is AIRBORNE" (100% agree)

"If public health doesn't say this clearly, it is MISINFORMATION" (92%)

From large DELPHI study w/ panel of 386 academic, health, NGO, govt experts in COVID-19 from 112 countries published in @NaturePortfolio

2/ Led by @JVLazarus of @ISGLOBALorg (Spain) along with @jabarocas, @RBaptistaLeite, @SusanMichie, @ProfAbdoolKarim, @LawrenceGostin, @carolin51299534, @CarlosdelRio7, yours truly & many others not on Twitter

Excruciating process to get unbiased & representative #CovidConsensus
3/ Many recommendations on different areas, on which there was significant agreement among all the experts (grouped in areas of prevention, communication, vaccines, treatments, inequities, health systems):

1/ The error conflating short-range airborne transmission (aerosol inhalation) with large droplet (sprayborne) transmission is alive an well in this Facebook post from a Philippines Government advisor:

[Can't reply there, so I will here]
2/ He is strangely defining airborne as ONLY long range. That makes no sense.

The protection measures depend on the mechanism, NOT ON THE DISTANCE.

3 key mechanisms per @CDCgov
(1) Aerosol inhalation
(2) Large droplet spray
(3) Surface touch

cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
3/ It is clear that aerosol inhalation, i.e. airborne transmission (at ALL DISTANCES) is the dominant mode of transmission. There is overwhelming evidence of this, e.g.:

Une entrevue en français 🇫🇷avec @phareouestRC 🇨🇦:

"La régie de Santé de Vancouver dans la liste du «Temple de la Honte»"

[C'est la première fois que je fais une interview en français, mais apparemment c'était compréhensible] Phew!

1H/ The new #COVIDHallofHumor

As many of your know we have started 2 ongoing threads of good and bad practices worldwide against COVID transmission

- #COVIDHallofShame:

- #COVIDBestPractices:
2H/ The good examples are much more fun to compile, but unfortunately there seem to be many more bad examples everywhere.

So inspired by tweet by @microlabdoc, I thought it may be good (at least for our mental health) to start a #COVIDHallofHumor

Pls submit by adding that tag
3H/ UK 🇬🇧: Here we see @microlabdoc demonstrating a new method to clean the air of viruses

Cheap and easy. Only need pins, a scarf, disinfectant wipes, and work that you really want to avoid for the next 30 min!

117S/MÉXICO🇲🇽: stronger denial of dominant AIRBORNE transmission, still emphasizing surfaces by @lopezobrador_ & @HLGatell

Spraying ppl w/ disinfectants, disinfect under shoes... despite 0 proven cases of surface transmission (cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…)

ImageImage
118S/MÉXICO🇲🇽:(Sinaloa @sinaloagobmx): spraying disinfectants into the air in empty conference rooms.

Absurd waste of resources and disinfection theater, disinfectants can be toxic to people entering rooms later. Unclear what goal is?

#COVIDHallofShame

119S/ PHILIPPINES🇵🇭: strange barriers in motorcycles to avoid transmission among riders. But limited trans. outdoors (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33249484/), mostly talking face-toface, nearly impossible when moving, esp. mask & helmet

[I am told this is still in use]

1/ LOS CASOS DE SUPERCONTAGIO LOS EXPLICA LA TRANSMISIÓN POR EL AIRE EN HABITACIONES COMPARTIDAS

Lo demostramos en nuestro paper (revisado por pares) en @EnvSciTech:

pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

El modelo matemático funciona. Y "no hay nada más práctico q una buena teoría"
2/ Los casos de supercontagio son muy importantes para la pandemia (10% de contagiados --> 80-90% de nuevos casos).

Por ejemplo el caso del restaurante de Noruega con omicron es la causa del 75% de los casos actuales en ese país.

3/ Hay muchos casos famosos de supercontagio

Por ejemplo el caso del restaurante de Guangzhou en China:

87/ MEXICO: very poor ventilation in movie theater @Cinemex (Pabellón Cuauhtémoc)

2300 ppm CO2 = ~5% of air that people breathe is "second-hand air", that has been in someone else's lungs before

Without distance, eating/drinking (so no masks) etc.

88/ CANADA (BC @PHSAofBC): Top Public Health Official B. Henry in incredible collection of errors and denial of science during 2021

- denying obvious airborne
- denying that masks protect against aerosols
- denying school transmission
- so many more...

89/ MEXICO: (Guadalajara, @FILGuadalajara) cabins for spraying disinfectants on people before entering the Book Fair

For an airborne virus (who.int/news-room/ques…) that goes poorly, if at all, thru surfaces (cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…)

1/ Examples of GOOD PRACTICES worldwide to stop transmission, given that #COVIDisAirborne

There are many BAD examples in a separate thread (), that others should avoid.

Here I will try to compile some of the good examples that others should copy.
2G/ UK Government: "COVID is like smoke" with a clear visualization:

[Note that many countries have both good and bad examples. Such is the situation we are in, as @WHO et al. don't provide a strong message that would lead to the good mssgs prevailing]

3G/ FRANCE, government: good visualization of the behavior of airborne aerosols indoors, and the impact of ventilation.
