Hi Tim,

Your information on OPE, or source control, below is incorrect

NIOSH has found that respirators with exhalation valves do provide surgical mask level control.

Article:
healthleadersmedia.com/covid-19/niosh…
Study that the article is based on.

cdc.gov/niosh/docs/202…

Regarding IPE, inward protection, NIOSH has already found that is not a concern.

osha.gov/laws-regs/stan…

Here is a Webinar where they cover these subjects.

You should be urging everyone to be in an N95 or better.

In fact, I'd like to invite you to join our campaign, #BetterMasks4All, or:

"N100 to STOP COVID in 100*!"

*100 days.

I have more information on that if interested.

In the meantime, I beg of you to change that story.
Thank you very much - besides the exhalation valve issue, I quite enjoyed the story.

You are correct!

Man - this virus is really taking down some high-level antivaxxers and antimaskers.

Can we call those who oppose both, antimaxxers?
His antivax tweet -his tweets soon to disappear, so backing up..

I am all for having these tests being available. But if they were would people still send their kids in sick?

Yes.

This is such an easily solvable problem from a PUBLIC HEALTH perspective.

Why is that capitalized?
Because our PH director, @CDCDirector, is trying to say the outbreaks were because the schools weren't following the CDC's recommendations.

Why weren't they? Because they didn't have to.

Just like the Demasking of America on May 13, she is pushing a "choice" model of
public health. A libertarian model.

"Here are best practices - we recommend you follow them!"

But school districts are like people on following recommendations. Very much like herding cats.

Mandates. They should have tied DOE funding to very specific requirements

This is now the 4th study to culture virus from air samples, which is what the IPC and ID community wanted.

There have been ZERO for measles.



Yet, measles is airborne based on 2 epi studies.

Let's review why CoVid is airborne.

@GovRonDeSantis will soon be de jobless.

And could not happen to a nicer guy.

Because he is a smart guy, and his antimask rhetoric has all been a sociopathic ploy to win him the Republican primary.

So, maybe he wins that. Then what?

He loses. And by a landslide.
Turns out the public does NOT appreciate governors like CoVidAbbott or DeSantis stopping public health measures.

And of course, both of them have been antivax, which it turns out REPUBLICANS don't appreciate. Image

A mega thread on the ultimate DIY air filter known as the Corsi/Rosenthal Box (@CorsIAQ/ @JimRosenthal4).

Take it into work. Donate a couple to your school classroom if they'll let you.

Illustrations beautifully done by @ughberta, discovered through @kprather88. ImageImageImage
Do portable air cleaners (aka purifiers aka filters) work to remove aerosols that carry SARS-COV-2 from the air?

Yes.

Does this specific solution? Yes.

At least as good as a $900 HEPA filter.

And this is with MERV 11 filters. The one you will make will have MERV 13 filters, so should be better.

Results below, you'll see they are for 5 microns or below - great! Image

Florida's on fire with CoVid.

And DeSantis uses his Harvard education to DOUBLE-DOWN and call the Great Barrington Declaration author Jay "No Mask" Bhattacharyra?
Below is him whinging on about no randomized evidence for masks.

Never mind that it's incredibly unethical to run a true RCT in the middle of a pandemic.

And 3M would be sued out of existence if masks did not work, since they advertise that they work news4jax.com/news/florida/2…
Where else do we know Bhattacharyra from?

India. Proclaiming herd immunity. January 11th, 2021.

And we know what happened after that.
