In summer 2020, the WHO wrote an article to support droplet transmission of COVID-19.

What if I told you that it went horribly awry, and actually helped prove aerosol?

Good news!

Have I got a thread for you!
In summer 2020, the WHO committee that sets COVID-19 transmission guidelines wrote a piece. Image
It argued for droplet, and contained many misconceptions and logical errors that have been dealt with elsewhere. I won't get into those.

@DavidElfstrom @skeila @WHO @ottawahealth It _is_ ridiculous.

Let's call a spade a spade.

They owe me a single peer-reviewed study of contaminated masks hurting someone.
@DavidElfstrom @skeila @WHO @ottawahealth Meanwhile the WHO committee is busy suggesting that we ought to tell HCW about the harms of N95 marks.

Conly et al. from summer. ImageImageImage
@DavidElfstrom @skeila @WHO @ottawahealth Doing this on the fly. Here's their cite to the harm of respirators. Image

Guess I'll just do a quick post about this.

Remember back in early 2020 when everybody was saying maybe masks would work to stop the spread?

But certain people said nah, masks don't work.
Well back in 2015 a hospital wanted HCW to vaccinate.

To encourage vaccination, they implemented a policy that if the HCW did not vaccinate, they had to wear a mask for their entire shift.
Unfortunately when it went to arbitration the hospital had then to justify its argument that masks stopped outbound transmission (source control).

Case is here. Appendices are full of references about masks, including working for source control.

That is the oldest public health excuse in the book.

For $420,000 per year plus pension, do better.

No acknowledgment that this transmits via aerosol so indoor spaces dangerous, means people distancing 2m are still at risk.

We are well into negligence territory.
Just a reminder that the government was not liable during SARS because it argued that it was making policy decisions, not operational ones. So nurses sued their employer.

Getting the science wrong is not a policy decision.

Enjoy.
You can see the Crown liability laid out here, in s. 95 of the Health Protection and Promotion Act. (Also under the CPLA as well if you click through to that Act.)
