Guter Artikel im @Guardian zur ungerechtfertigten Aufmerksamkeit, die Oberflächendesinfektion weiterhin bekommt.
Es scheint immer noch nicht durchgedrungen zu sein:
Corona breitet sich über die Luft aus. Abwischen gibt nur falsches Gefühl von Sicherheit 1/

Auf den ersten Blick mag es kaum schaden, auf Nummer sicher zu gehen. Das Problem ist: das mentale Modell, dass wir von den Übertragungswegen haben beeinflusst unser Verhalten. Wir schätzen dann Risiken falsch ein, bekommen falsches Sicherheitsgefühl. 2/
Wir haben eine begrenzte mentale Leistungsfähigkeit. Kümmern wir uns um Desinfektion, haben wir weniger Geisteskraft, uns mit Aerosolen zu beschäftigen.
In fast allen Bundesländern dürfen Kassierer:innen weiterhin Aerosole ohne Masken über die Plexiglasscheibe pusten. 3/

1/x Just can't shake my disappointment in yesterday's #CDC school opening guidelines: "Operational Strategy for #K12 Schools through Phased Mitigation"

A 🧵 with other thoughts, links, practical tips wrt #school COVID airborne health, beyond CDC guidance.

2/ First, here is the link to updated #K12 guidelines, as well as a few other key #CDC pages (w/ last update as of today).

K12 update (2/12): cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

How COVID spreads (10/28/20): cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

Ventilation in buildings (2/9): cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
3/ So many lines of thought to follow, but I will direct you to short thread yesterday by @CorsIAQ for a good summary. The gist is simply that the #CDC guidelines leave out some of the most important, obvious help b/c they ignore the airborne component.

“costs of #hygienetheater are greater. It’s absorbing precious resources.

Transit authorities have spent $ blasting surfaces w/ antimicrobial weaponry, as they discuss the need to cut service.

$ that should be spent on rides is being directed toward soap theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
“it builds a false sense of security:

If you believe coronavirus is spread from surfaces rather than air, you might be more likely to hang out in restaurant that cleans its tables—increasing odds you get sick from an airborne disease floating your way from strangers nearby.”
“Disinfectant mania also poses a health risk.

As hotels, gyms, and offices engage in an arms race for the most germ-smashing disinfectants, health experts are starting to warn that these measures might accidentally make patrons and employees sick.”

I commend @AirResources for their regulation on O3 thanks to amazing researchers👇🏼I’d like to know when other oxidant producing purifiers will also be regulated? Many schls have implemented these devices w/ #CaresAct funds. Experts agree: No to adding ANY oxidants to indoor air.
We need you to regulate this ASAP as many schools have already purchased & implemented these systems due to their presences on the #CARB approved list. #schoolreopening #schoolclosures #schoolsafety #COVID19 #ListenToTheExperts #hygienetheater #snakeoil
