πŸ“Airborne transmissionβ€”Look how a South Korean high school student became infected after **5 minutes of exposure from >20 feet away**. We cannot keep using the 6-feet (2 m) standard of social distance
to keep people safe. Indoor dining not safe! #COVID19 latimes.com/world-nation/s…
2) Mask and airborne science compilation video
3) Great thermal imaging videos on airborne aerosols. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
4) VENTILATION is key. Both ventilation and masks needed to reduce risk indoors. But most buildings not ventilated well enough.

5) Masks and aerosols demo
6) How is aerosol different from large droplets? aerosol study indicates that coronavirus is persistent and stable up to 16 hours in stagnant air. Typical air exchange every 20 min to 4 hrs, depending on ventilation. #COVID19
7) Now that aerosol transmission of the coronavirus is established, we need to both mask and disperse aerosols quickly. Key is ventilation. Japan assumed it was airborne from the very beginning. Hence their mask culture and focus on air flow. #COVID19

πŸ“HOLY MOTHER OF CONQUERING A HOSPITAL OUTBREAKβ€”Vietnam quashed a big πŸ₯ #COVID19 outbreak. Besides tracing 50,000+ people who were 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree contacts, they also quarantined & gave **FREE ROOM πŸ›Œ & BOARD 🍲 to 27,893** F1 & F1 close contacts during quarantine! Wowzers! Image
2) Think that was a typo? No. They literally quarantined all contacts and even used a β€œnew 9-story building” for accommodations. Plus used hospital contingency funds and Hanoi city funds for food and necessities.

Jesus! Because that’s would Jesus would do! Image
3) Altogether, 7664 at the hospital were quarantined, for a total of 52,000 total contacts. They **only** centrally quarantined and fed 27,000 of them. I wish other govts can learn from Vietnam. They aren’t even that wealthy. But they valued lives. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27…

Bathrooms are a concernβ€”because of toilet 🚽 plumes. β€œBecause a flush can release plume of aerosolized droplets in the airβ€”and we know #SARSCoV2 can be spread in fecal matterβ€”encountering toilet plumes from others may put you at risk for #COVID19.” @NatBCo
washingtonpost.com/travel/tips/ro…
2) β€œOften people get a false sense of security because if they go into a bathroom & don’t see anyone else, they think they’re safe. But we know aerosols can stay in the room for anywhere from 20 min to 4 hours. It depends on ventilation, & often bathrooms have poor ventilation.”
3) This has been discussed before. washingtonpost.com/health/2020/06… Image

BREAKINGβ€”Successful faster-than-speed-of-light demonstration of **QUANTUM TELEPORTATION** of up to 44 kilometer. @Caltech & @Fermilab scientists teleported quantum info for a sustained period across distance of 44 km via quantum entanglement teleportation.
inqnet.caltech.edu/Press-PRXQ-dec… Image
2) β€œIn a quantum internet, information stored in qubits (quantum equivalent of computer bits) is shuttled, or teleported, over long distances through entanglement, a phenomenon in which particles become intrinsically linked to each other even when separated by vast distances.”
3) β€œA key feature of quantum networks is their fidelity, or the quality of teleportation, which characterizes how close the teleported qubit is to the original. In the new study, quantum teleportation was performed with a fidelity of more than 90 percent.” caltech.edu/about/news/qua…

BREAKINGβ€”White House official who fell ill with #COVID19 in September is recovering after 3 months in the hospitalβ€”and lost his right foot & lower leg in his battle against the virus, sources say. Crede Bailey is the director of the WH security office. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
2) β€œBailey’s friends have raised more than $30,000 for his rehabilitation through a GoFundMe account. β€œCrede beat COVID-19 but it came at a significant cost: his big toe on his left foot as well as his right foot and lower leg had to be amputated,” Dawn McCrobie, who organized
3) β€œBailey is now at a rehabilitation center and will be fitted for a prosthetic leg in the coming months, she wrote.

β€œHis family has staggering medical bills from a hospital stay of 2+ months and still counting in the ICU and a long road ahead in rehab before he can go home”

BREAKINGβ€”β€œNew variant" (mutation) of #SARSCoV2 has been identified, believed to be causing faster spread, UK Health Secretary said. Its spread is growing faster than existing variant, w/ over 1,000 cases found, "predominantly in south of England". #COVID19
news.sky.com/story/new-vari…
2) UK has notified the @WHO. The new variant was officially identified for first time last week. Hancock told MPs there is currently "nothing to suggest" this variant is more likely to cause serious symptoms, adding that it is highly unlikely that it won't respond to a vaccine.
3) We’ve seen mink mutations of #SARSCoV2 before too. But this is why we gotta stop this. The longer the virus circulates, the greater the chance of this happening more until one day we get really β€œunlucky”.

Remember when 100,000 deaths was a big deal in May 2020 & NYT printed 1000 names?

We are now at 300 * front covers worth of #COVID19 deaths now 🧡.
