šŸ˜·Why you need a mask šŸ¤§One sneeze and its payload of pathogen-bearing droplets of all sizes can travel 23 to 27 feet. #coronavirus šŸ¦ Potential Implications for Reducing Transmission of #COVID-19 | Infectious Diseases | JAMA | jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/ā€¦
šŸ˜±Protective equipment, should have the ability to repeatedly withstand high-momentum multiphase turbulent gas clouds ejected via a sneeze or a cough and the exposure from them. Current surgical & N95 masks are NOT tested for these characteristics of respiratory emissions.
šŸ¦ šŸš½ šŸ¦ Why is a mask so important ā‰ļø #coronavirus is carried in fecal matter. Even if you urinate, microscopic fecal matter is inside toilets and residue is everywhere.. when you flush, #COVID19 is aerosolized. Flush after you close the lid.

Hey šŸ‘‹ ā¦@SenRonJohnsonā©, we are so curious. Tell us which person in your immediate family that you would sacrifice to #COVID19 to protect your financial portfolio. We are all ears. businessinsider.com/gop-senator-opā€¦
@SenRonJohnson says that death is unavoidable so he argues that we should make sacrifices to restart the economy. Would he willingly risk the lives of his kids, wife or parents to regain his net worthā‰ļø

Choir practice turns fatal. Airborne coronavirus strongly suspected - Los Angeles Times

60 singers turned up. 45 were diagnosed with COVID or, untested, had symptoms, despite all refraining from hugs and kisses. 2 died. latimes.com/world-nation/sā€¦
This should provide an interesting case study about airborne droplets, maybe expelled by particular force when singing.

Where were the 15 sitting who had no symptoms? Did they get it but were asymptomatic?
Some people are particularly ā€œgoodā€ at expelling fine droplets, producing 1000 more than others.

(Iā€™m thinking of those looney weirdo pastors that purport to caste out Covid.. They look quite spittley to me)

#coronavirus thread. Currently travelling back to Scotland from Italy. Thought it might be interesting to compare Italy/UK. This thread will happen over several hours so bear with me.
Currently on a coach from ski resort to Verona. Motorway is v quiet. Over 90% vehicles are lorries, presumably delivering goods. Hardly any cars. I have not seen any other coaches or buses. Two front tows barricaded off so nobody can go to front near the driver.
Not many of us on the bus. All Edinburgh bound although no landing slots so we will be landing in Newcastle and coaching from there.

Okay, I may regret this, but friends have been asking why masks are necessary for medical workers and not helpful in public, so I am gonna try to explain how both those things can be true because the official messaging I've seen is terrible. Feel free to RT #coronavirus
Things to consider when deciding whether to listen to me: I am currently an incident response professional, so I have a lot of professional experience in coordinating the collection of large amounts of data, figuring out what we know and how we know it, and making decisions fast.
My first professional training (a long time ago) was in microbiology and genetics. I briefly worked in a clean room culturing mammalian cells, and have worn personal protective equipment (PPE) in that context. I have done a few PCR assays (the kind of test used to

Hereā€™s why public #coronavirus mask messaging is confusing.
šŸ‘‡
First of all, masks DO work. Thatā€™s why healthcare workers use them. Hospitals donā€™t stock thousands of masks because they think nurses look cute in them. Masks help to reduce and prevent infection.
#COVID19
Itā€™s questionable to tell the public that masks donā€™t work and are not needed as you pass those same masks out to healthcare workers, police and first responders. That creates a disconnect for people and impacts credibility. Everyday people understand masks more than you think.
In industrial settings, workers use masks to prevent dust and particulates from entering the lungs. Home renovators use masks. Cancer patients getting chemo treatment may use masks in public because their immune system is low. There are many types and reasons to wear a mask.

People are still freaking out over "asymptomatic" patients, so here's some info on virus incubation, symptoms, and lab confirmation of #nCoV2019 #coronavirus tests. It's not unusual for patients to test negative (for this or any other virus) in the early days after infection.
When a virus infects a cell, it takes time to replicate itself inside that cell and produce new virus particles. The period of time when a virus is replicating but hasn't yet begun producing new virus particles (called virions) is called the eclipse.
During the eclipse phase, viral RNA (the genetic material of the virus) and proteins are produced in cells. Proteins are involved in replicating the virus, hijacking host cell functions, evading immunity, and making the virus "shell" (capsid/structural proteins).
