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]
[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

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

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…)

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?

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

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.

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...

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.
