Just a reminder Sri Lanka with population 21.7 million has only 3300 cases and 13 #COVID-19 deaths.

Must be because it's an island, I guess.

Two month lockdown by _May_.

This might repeat the first article, some of the text seems similar.
- January set up task force
- Jan 27 first case
- masks by Feb
- March quarantining people from overseas
- 45 quarantine centres set up by mid March, hotels used
- everything closed
- restrictions reopened about 2 mo later

I'm sure others can do a more indepth look.

I'm so fed up with people taking the WHO seriously.

This is from 2014. Image

They already said "airborne" although they had said long-range (throw back to 1910, by the way)

But wait for it Image

Wow they buried the lead.

COVID might be up to an R0 of 24, eating measles for breakfast. Image
Very comparable at median of 11 to measles, which is probably 9 to 12.

Anyway from p. 19 iris.who.int/handle/10665/3…
And measles from much much older reports...

Somewhere I posted an article that looked at how they arrived at 12 to 18 and concluded it was more like 9 to 12. Probably on the low end too.

For anyone reading this, he means "Airborne" as in the three viruses that require Airborne precautions.

Those are _defined_ as TB, measles and chickenpox.

They are "airborne" because they are "Airborne."

It is totally ludicrous, yes.
It means negative pressure rooms and N95s, which is why they desperately do not want COVID to be called "Airborne".
This is why, during SARS, when a roomful of Canadian doctors and nurses got sick even though they were using "Droplet precautions" (I'll capitalize) - that is, medical masks - they invented AGMP, so they could explain how a droplet virus infected people using Droplet Precautions.

⚠️Please people.

We are no longer calling it "fire".

It is "potentially harmful chemical combustion energy output".
This of course means the fire department will be renamed as well.

It will be called the "organization for the suppression of potentially harmful chemical combustion energy output situations."
And please do not ask them to get your cat out of your tree. They will not understand.

It is an "affective feline mammal trapped in a heightened potential energy state of arboreal origin."

@mvankerkhove @CIDRAP @WHO Thanks.

Seems most health care locations (in Ontario) ignore the WHO. That's too bad.

This is December 2020 for anyone who wants it.

COVID - alone - is the third leading cause of death in Canada in 2022.

It kicked flu pneumonia and all lower respiratory infections out of the way like they were nothing.

And everybody knows nobody's counting COVID cases. So this is a huge undercount.

mastodon.social/@jmcrookston/1…
It just coughed right in their faces and took their lunch money.

SARS-CoV-2 not foolin'.

Comin for you now hesrt disease nunber 2 with 57000 deaths. And which is an entire category of death not a single reason.
COVID is so boss it increases chance of heart disease just to give the other causes of death a sporting chance.
