19 person outbreak at the Public Health Ontario labs.

Same PHO that says surgical masks just fine.

Same PHO that wrote that biased snobby and insulting summary of the aerosol conference in November.

Can't even make this stuff up.

"Wondered"?

Whether "community spread" or whether "somehow acquired through an infection from laboratory tests itself"

I'll tell you where from ...

"I think this is an airborne virus and it's more infectious than we give it credit for"

My God, it's full of stars.
Wrong
No it isn't.
Then what's the point of these guidances?

Sounds like WHO. Here, do this. But if you do and you die, that's on you.
Another
How's that working out?
You aren't helping.
Fundamentally different modes? It's more infectious. You'll see more through the air. It doesn't grow wings. Delete this PDF.
Then goes on to pull from WHO (NOTE: of course people pull WHO guidance, hence it is important to change that) and Scotland, for some reason, to set PPE for health care, which we know is all wrong.

Delete this PDF.
Side note, they point to the hierarchy of controls, which would say to PHO that you ought to use airborne isolation rooms before masks.
But here's the kicker you came for, HCW in a patient room just need surgical masks.

So, outbreak in your lab really?

I am not surprised.

Delete this PDF you dinosaurs. Rawr.

Oops thread broke. Continues here:

Meanwhile site is full of "how to put on your PPE" which is fine generally, but ludicrous in the context of not wearing an N95 for airborne infectious disease.

And when studies show even when ppl study it, they cannot cough/force virus off a mask.
And here is their garbage summary of the aerosol conference. Garbage b/c they do not believe in airborne spread

publichealthontario.ca/-/media/docume…
Of course, now that their employees are sick (I'm sorry), perhaps they will "suddenly" see the light.

Err, small particles floating indefinitely in the light

My God it's full of aerosols!

Don't drag me into your tar pit, dinosaurs.

I know it's in the air.

Hey dinosaurs, guess what might work:

@ExtroSpecteur I presume he is saying airborne mitigations should be equally alongside touch or droplet.

No, there is no evidence for any. As I keep saying, but happy to say again, for thousands of years people flipflopped between "it's touch" and "it floats but generates in swamps because ...
@ExtroSpecteur ... they did not understand pathogens. Once they did, referring to respiratory illness, they simply assumed it was droplet because most infections can be traced to an infected having been near the index case. Droplet became an idea with Chapin in 1910, to explain why one needed..
@ExtroSpecteur ...to be close. However, first, their idea of droplet was not necessarily 2 metres. Their idea of airborne was many kilometers, so their discussion of close has to be understood in this context. Two, their investigations were crude, by the 30s air people like Wells

Another one for the pile.

Call me in two years when you haven't heard anything at all about this vaccine.

And how would it be administered. We take shots every morning?

We have nasal vaccines for flu btw. Still have flu.
But hey 250,000 views. If I wanted to sell books I might post stuff like this. 🤷
Hey here are some other ideas:

sun entering cooling phase which should obviate climate change.

Just bang the like button. That's all we're here for I guess. Let's all be irresponsible. 🤷

It's always funny to me that virologists get everything and transmission so wrong. I guess because they work with viruses they think they know everything about them. 🤷

The sad part is we would assume that because they work with viruses they know everything about them. Image
*everything about
Virologists don't really work on transmission. Maybe sometimes they spin a tub and flip some in the air or something. But they don't really know what's going on. And then the doctors know the biological clinical side of things but they don't work on transmission either.

COVID-19 took measles out back and absolutely SHOT IT DEAD.

1 sick player infected 100% OF BOTH HOCKEY TEAMS - 42 people - then another 102 spectators.

172 people in total.

You can watch it sweep the first team then the second team then the stands in the epi curves.

Wow.

A few sick kids at a doctor's office?

Pfft, measles, get out of here you weakly-transmitting pathetic cold of a virus. Even pre-vax you weren't doing this.

SARS-CoV-2 is absolutely mind-blowingly transmissible.

Translation: it's already in humans
Imma help you with this "science speak"
Just remember the ladder of denial and elite panic myth means if you are hearing a 2 it's a 4. If a 4 it's a 6. If a 6 pack your bags. You'll never hear 8 and up the TV will just play static
