BATHROOMS. RESTAURANTS. SCHOOL CLASSROOMS. OFFICES. Not just hospitals and clinics. The virus can linger in the air for hours. Forget outdated 6-feet droplet 💧rule. Huge superspreading outbreaks from aerosols have been documented. REPEAT: #COVIDisAirborne - pass it on! #COVID19
2) A single case led to a hospital outbreak - despite the max number of people just being 4. The virus stayed in the air for hours infecting many more people.
3) How is aerosol different from large droplets? aerosol study indicates that coronavirus is persistent and stable for many hours. Typical air exchange every 20 min to 4 hrs, depending on ventilation. #COVID19
4) VENTILATION is key. Both ventilation and masks needed to reduce risk indoors. But most buildings not ventilated well enough. #COVIDisAirborne
5) “Until we recognise that #COVIDisAirborne we are setting ourselves up for repeated failure”
6) Masks and aerosols demo.
7) Mask and airborne science compilation video from 2020.
8) Now that aerosol transmission of the coronavirus is established, we need to disperse aerosols quickly. Key is ventilation. 🇯🇵 knew it was airborne from the start. Here is how to ventilate your school classrooms if unable to open window. #COVIDisAirborne
9) Don’t remove your masks indoors! Even if you think you’re alone. The aerosols are still lingering in the air. #COVIDisAirborne
10) aerosol scientists were right all along, and all the airborne-denying virologists / ID “experts” who insisted on droplets 💧 need to be held accountable for their dismissive arrogance and misinformation. History won’t forget. History will remember those^ who endangered others
11) Build a CORSI-ROSENTHAL BOX 📦 do disinfect the air out of MERV13 grade air filters and a simple box fan! It’s super easy! thank you @CorsIAQ@JimRosenthal4.
12) If you wear a mask, please upgrade to more premium KN95 / KF94 / PPF2 masks. And please tighten the fit for the love of god’
13) HEPA filters are great (along with UV, CDC only recommends proper HEPA & UV for indoor air disinfection). But beware knockoffs that aren’t true HEPA. It works. Corsi Boxes next best thing.
14) But ventilation and air disinfection only part of what’s needed — Kids not only need masks, but they need HIGHER FILTRATION respirator masks, such as KN95 or KF94 or FFP2. Pediatric respirator masks are harder to find, but they are available….See 🧵👇
15) STUDENT ACTIVITIES— make CORSI-ROSENTHAL BOXES—An army of students and faculty at the University of California-San Diego are coming together to build 250 homemade air purifiers for classrooms and labs around campus.
16) Let’s follow the aerosol airborne science, not follow droplet 💧 dogma.
19) Bathrooms 🚽 are very risky - often poorly ventilated, filled with aerosolized toilet plumes when toilet lid isn’t used, and can be deceptively empty - but still infectious airborne virus remains!! Seriously, bathrooms are a real risk.
20) the virus is airborne, period. But dangerous misinfo from dogmatic @YourAlberta@AHS_media still claims it’s not airborne, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Their health chiefs all need to resign or be terminated and be replaced.
22) We should have recognized that #COVIDisAirborne long ago. We didn’t heed warnings from China that it was airborne. Was it a political or ethnic bias to dismiss China simply because Trump politicized it as a “ChinaVirus”? We should self reflect.
23) Japanese scientists 🇯🇵 also long warned it was airborne from the beginning. Was it also an ethnic or racial bias to dismiss the airborne science simply because the warnings came from Asia? Or was it inconvenient to acknowledge airborne? 🤔. #COVID19

A girl using cover name JANE DOE testified under oath at Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal trial that she was introduced to Trump by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14 years old. Pass it on.
Trump’s name appears 7 times in Epstein’s latest files. They regularly called each other according to phone logs. Trump says Epstein is a “terrific guy”. And he traveled on flights, according to logs, to Epstein’s island multiple times.
3) THIS STUFF IS NEW—not old Epstein-Trump info. New information regarding Epstein's child trafficking activities was released 7/2/24. Documents from 2016 are now out of date and do not show the depth of Trump's dealings with Epstein... READ MORE:
Reminder—Trump had expressed executing people on many occasions while President, according to his own Attorney General. Now the Supreme Court has green lit any official act with full presidential immunity. Germany did the same in 1933. It turned out great.
2) If we ignore history, we are bound to repeat it. How Germany became Nazi Germany in 1933….
📍 The New York Times Is Failing Its Readers Badly on Covid
📌“Example of ‘science opinion’ run amok in the [NY Times] is a piece… by Zeynep Tufekci, a commentator with no training in biological science or epidemiology… ➡️Tufekci plays into the hands of the anti-science politicians who now seek vengeance on the flimsiest of grounds.”
2) “Tufekci also adds to the ongoing pile-on about whether the directive to maintain a distance of six feet from others was needed. Although the precise distance was indeed somewhat arbitrary, there was no possibility of obtaining hard data in the relevant time frame. The six-foot distance was a reasonable assumption based on public health history, and the practice of social distancing for other respiratory pathogens, particularly those spread by droplets. It was also adopted in multiple other countries, for the same reasons.”
3) “The problem here isn’t that Tufekci is questioning the evidentiary basis of the six-foot rule—science and public health cannot progress if we don’t evaluate the results of our work. But that progress is more effective when grounded in good-faith inquiry, rather than the kinds of attacks Tufekci levels against government scientists for doing their best in desperate circumstances. This only serves to bolster the forces who seek to destroy the US public health infrastructure, not make it better.
Tufekci also leaves the impression that she alone realized SARS-CoV-2 was airborne early on. In fact, the debate about transmission was fast and furious within the scientific community at that time”
⚠️Whooping cough has smashed all records in UK🇬🇧 with barely any serious govt actions. These are NEW CASES PER WEEK, not cumulative. Each week smashing previous. Other countries rising too amid anti-vax. Pertussis is also airborne!
3) Whooping cough is also extremely contagious. For up to 3 weeks. With UK govt advising staying home for 3 full weeks if no antibiotic treatment. How many people being told that and doing that?
⚠️SURGING COVID cases & hospitalizations in Madrid, Spain🇪🇸—hospitalizations for COVID has now exceeded also 2022-2023. This is the globally surging KP3 variant (US too)—it is highly evasive against past immunity—you’re not immune. Take preventive action. comunidad.madrid/sites/default/…
2) New York City’s COVID cases are also increasing, as noted by @emmagf. June is not normal cold and flu season at all. This shows that this KP3 surging despite non-flu season means it’s a troublemaker.
@emmagf 3) Hawaii’s ERs also have gotten slammed hard by an off-season COVID surge. This isn’t normal at all for June. This is why we need to be on alert.
