#Hi everyone, I am a #dentist. I have been following the #pandemic and #economy very closely. I have been posting stories on #COVID-19 on my Instagram and YouTube. I will now add my #thoughts and #research here.

The #rateofspread is very concerning. If #dental personel were worried in March/April, #July could be much worse.

We should not be too concerned about #aerosols; we need to be concerned about #communityspread. If July results in a #outbreak, #dentaloffices will be more at risk than ever, just from the odds of more infections in the population.

Dental personnel are at risk #likely from close-contact with patients, not aerosols. You can read more about how preoccupation with aerosols broke dentistry here kevindental.com/stories/2020/6…

More about #aerosol: the term aerosol generating procedure was not used in dentistry until March 2020. Likely #CDC and #OSHA created the concern and syntax by haphazardly migrating medical science into dentistry, probably from lack of understanding.

As much as the CDC has been struggling to handle COVID-19 in general. The Agency has mishandled guiding the ADA and dentistry. Read more here kevindental.com/stories/2020/6…

Thank you for reading! More updates as we go :)
