Every nation in the world is waiting for America.

@CDCDirector - the @CPHO_Canada has had the bravery to say the words "aerosol" as applied to #COVIDisAirborne.

You have not. The last time you said that word was October 24, 2019.

When will you say that it as clearly as her?
To both of you, @CDCDirector and @CPHO_Canada - when will either of you have the courage to simply say #CoVidIsAirborne?

IPC departments across both of our countries are still predominantly using droplet protocols.

And we....
the proud Canadian and American people, are paying the price.

10,000 dead in America from CoVid caught in the hospital, @CDCDirector.
cnn.com/2021/11/07/hea…

More than 2900 doctors and nurses dead.

khn.org/news/article/m…
@CPHO_Canada - thank you very much for clearly saying that CoVid is spread via aerosols. Thank you very, very much.

But, to be fair and clear - an equivalent amount of patients and health care workers have died in Canada.
Until you, @CDCDirector and @CPHO_Canada say, "CoVid is Airborne," airborne IPC protocols will not be implemented..

@WHO is not going to say it. @DrTedros is not going to say it.

The last time either of you said "airborne" ?
It was in regards to SARS and MERS.

We all know that SARS-COV-2 is the far more transmissible cousin of both of them.

And....
There is a mountain of evidence that #CoVidIsAirborne. It is as high as all of those bodies stacked up.

I am not saying that you killed of those people.

But droplet protocols in an airborne pandemic? Those are literally killing us.
A mountain of evidence?

Far more than influenza, chicken pox, SARS, MERS, tuberculosis - or even measles.

A mountain as high as 25,800 bodies.

So, I respectfully ask that you declare, "CoVid is Airborne."

We are all tired - but there are no shortcuts. No off-ramps.

Let's just say it out loud, and get to work.
@POTUS's and @JustinTrudeau's FDR moments are here.

But only you can make it happen.

We are ready.

Hi Ian :)

AHS IPC doc for CoVid. Contact and Droplet Precautions.

albertahealthservices.ca/assets/healthi…

References
who.int/emergencies/di…

Which is actually the CoVid IPC doc
who.int/publications/i…

In that, medical masks for HCWs plus 1 meter distancing recommended.

Airborne only in ImageImageImageImage
the context of AGP's.

This is very common - countries refer to WHO's stance which is medical masks and 1 meter.

Also which was shown in the common person documents and video you listed out, and I RT'd.

And airborne was not listed anywhere in those documents.
Now, let's take a look at the WHO TB IPC document.

Particulate respirator, N95, recommended, because TB is listed as airborne. ImageImageImage

So, Dr. Duchin and I were/are having a good conversation about #CoVidIsAirborne, and what was necessary as far as to move this forward. @kprather88 had retweeted it, and so was reading the conversation.

So, we have a
public health doctor, a great aerosol scientist, and a very active advocate (me) in a conversation. Kind of like the pandemic, right?

Then, Twitter gives me two articles in my feed - and a moment of clarity.

A little bit of foreshadow- Lyndon B. Johnson is famous for saying
that if you get an aerosol scientist and an advocate distracted, you can steal from both of them.

His actual comment was a tad racist, so not going to say it - but you get the point.

@dianaberrent @ahandvanish - I fully agree the French LongCoVid Gaslighting "study" needs to be retracted.

(If they can put quotes around LongCoVid in the study, I'm happy to return the favor.)
It is flawed in many, many ways.

First and foremost - the above serological testing is 2020's phrenology.

This was seconded in @Loretta_Torrago's excellent thread on this study:



Personally, I find the authors' gaslighting insulting.
Especially as there are any number of studies showing various LC symptoms that actually have underlying physical issues that have been captured.

(This is for others):
Blood biomarkers


Small airways disease

Dear Health Provider - the @readimask worn by the person who showed you that QR code (or this tweet) has no metal parts in it, and can safely be worn during an MRI.
This is what the readimask.com looks like so you can visually confirm it's the same. ImageImageImageImage
As you can see below, it is only required that you confirm that the mask in question has no metal parts.

🧵 on "Why is the hospital forcing me to take off of my N95, and put on a surgical mask?"

@realreporter - had some great questions that lots of other folks have had.

Going to answer them.
But before we do that - N95's are unquestionably better than surgical masks:

Go ahead - we'll wait. :)
How can a hospital be sure you are in a good N95?

Nah. "Many" is whomever owns the Chronicle or manages it.

Big surprise....@MonicaGandhi9 pumped out this doggerel at the same time.
sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

What a coincidence!
For someone who works with the IC community, she's not a very good advocate for them.

HIV only increases chances of death by 78 to 95% w/CoVid.

What is going on?
Who owns the Chronicle?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearst_Co…

No reason at all for them to diminish CoVid.

None at all.
