The word Swaraj is a sacred word, a Vedic word, meaning self-rule and self-restraint, and not freedom from all restraint... - M K Gandhi
"Freedom" should mean freedom to wear a mask to protect the society you are part of
"Freedom" should mean the self-restraint to stay indoors if you do not need to go out
"Freedom" should mean avoiding crowding to protect yourself and others
"Freedom" does mean you need to aid the people around you who have been hit harder by restrictions and lockdowns.
"Freedom" is the freedom to get vaccinated since that is what keeps everyone safer

I will tell you the story of an open #window which did not work, from personal experience. Short 🧵on prescriptive vs performance based guidance 1/
2) Over the past 8-10 months, I have force-fed family members and close friends my opinion on how #COVID19 is #Airborne and so irrespective of govt. or public health bodies guidance, they are more or less aware of preventive measures that could work.
3) So, they are aware of the need for ventilation and why it works. They know they need to open a window and why they need to do so (not just because "I told you so").

The Principal Scientific Adviser, Govt. of India
@PrinSciAdvGoI came out with guidelines on mitigation yesterday. A short 🧵delving further into them 1/

2) This is not the first mention of ventilation related guidance from Govt. of India

3) #Ventilation related guides have been there since past year.
However, they were not highlighted as much.
And people were not told why to ventilate.

A quick 🧵 highlighting some points from the brilliant @TheLancet article authored by @trishgreenhalgh @jljcolorado @kprather88 @zeynep @DFisman @chipatucsd 1/
2) This will be biased since I admire and respect the authors - so that is my admission.
3) Ten scientific reasons in support of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Situational #Airborne is not a real thing if the so-called situations are the norm! A 🧵 of these situations, likely to contain many places or situations you too frequent 1/
2) In a long bus journey - quite normal for many people commuting between home and work places

3) From an inflatable costume at a party - unless you lack a friend group, you will be going to some parties/gatherings?

#COVID19 and a tale of two gyms in a 🧵
Gyms are high risk situations since you are exerting and breathing in a lot more than you would usually do. Everything else remaining same, a gym could be 5 times more risky than a classroom 1/
2) Outbreak in a gym, leads to >400 cases
globalnews.ca/news/7744065/q…
3) Staff and clients got infected, they unknowingly carried the virus to a wide range of locations - grocery stores, homes, and workplaces
Final result 419 cases and counting

What do we mean by #UseAirbornePrecautions? There are clear guidelines in health care settings, but what do we mean by it for the public? A 🧵 of 🧵(met-thread) on this. Strap in, this will be long 1/
2) First, this is not the first #airborne problem we have faced, and it won't be the last. And not all of them are exotic pathogens. Some could be as mundane as dust, smoke, pollens, volatile/semi-volatile organic compounds. They are all around our living space
3) Not all #airborne troubles are created equal. For example, I am a lot more allergic to cigarette smoke than incense. This varies from person to person and trouble to trouble. Some do not have any smell and can still be a "headache".
