@PMOIndia @narendramodi @AmitShah Why are politicians getting infected and dying an analysis. Mask wearing in most are not proper. While communication cues with facial expression is desirable unmasked face is dangerous. We have published data on Cough spread.

I have reviewed videos and ALL politicians are not wearing masks properly. That needs to be corrected.

Pretesting of guards etc will NOT be enough. False negatives is around 20-30% with RTPCR so will pull into a false sense of security. Mask wearing still remains mandatory and will help educate the noncompliant masses

Social distancing is 2 meters not one a d I have seen code is of meetings were many officers are not wearing masks properly. This needs to be corrected and mandated if need be with monitoring by guards and alarm buzzing at tables. Very often people remove masks while talking

That defeats the very purpose. It's when you speak that virus is shed.

A sense of infallibility can creep in those in power but a virus is an equal opportunity infected and does not care who we are and mighty have been infected historically.

So mask wearing with social distancing is vital. Guards need to wear masks and politicians too. Intersection of "contamination bubbles" around us with others spread infection.

Air travel requires full PPE. There is evidence of spread despite airline claims. Claims cannot beat scientific facts and observations. Proper donning and Doffing of masks & PPE are important. Eye protection in public I traction ( Soap coated nonvented Goggles) & not face shields

doi.org/10.1063/5.0021… is our data. 3 ply surgical masks need 1.5 meters bubble . N95 masks worn properly 0.3 M bubble. To wear mask properly please see hand sanitization and mask donning and doffing video @

Hope no more politicians and people die. Mask AND distancing is the Mantra. Pained to hear Suresh Angadi's death which should be an eye opener. On Shanthi

Long term COVID sequalae are being observed so it's not just a flu and can cause long term detrimental effects.
