Danish authorities spreading misinformation about how to avoid transmission of COVID-19.

This is only possible because @WHO refuses to say loud and clear that #COVIDisAirborne:

thelancet.com/article/S0140-…
There are ZERO documented cases of COVID-19 transmission through surfaces. @CDCgov has been telling us for a year that surface transmission is rare:

cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
They should focus on the measures to control airborne transmission, which is the dominant form of transmission of this virus:

Here is an example of the measures that actually work to control COVID-19 transmission:

Not surprising that they are failing to control spread, and have more cases than even before we had vaccines

The Dutch government spreading misinformation and showing they have a **completely outdated** understanding about COVID transmission.

There are ZERO proven cases of surface transmission, and @CDCgov has been telling us for a year that it is rare (cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…)
Transmission is dominantly #Airborne (thelancet.com/article/S0140-…), so the DOMINANT message needs to focus on ways to protect ourselves from airborne transmission.
This government misinformation (a problem in lots of countries) won't end until @WHO says VERY LOUD AND CLEAR that #COVIDisAirborne, as they have actually admitted:

Finnish authorities also spreading misinformation about how to avoid COVID-19 transmission. Hygiene is the first measure, even though there are ZERO cases of surface transmission (cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…)

Ventilation not in top 5, when #COVIDisAirborne:

This misinformation won't end until @WHO says loud and clear that @COVIDisAirborne, as they have actually admitted:

Here are the real measures to stop the dominant airborne transmission:

Vacunen a sus hijos en cuanto puedan. Nosotros vacunamos a nuestro hijo de 7 años en cuanto pudimos

Y no escuchen las mentiras de q la COVID no afecta a niños (algunos casos graves y muertos, y mucha COVID larga). Y contagian a mayores (millones de niños han perdido padres)
Tampoco escuchen las mentiras de que los efectos secundarios de las vacunas son comparables o peores que los efectos de COVID. No hay comparación, COVID muchísisisimo peor.



(ahora hay 1 caso, pero en 6+ millones!)
Datos de la @CDCgov sobre niños que han muerto por COVID en EEUU.

No son muchos, pero "ningún caso de muerte es poco frecuente cuando el que se murió fue tu hijo"

1/ As many of you know, we have been recommending respirators (N95, FFP2, elastomeric) for increased protection against the dominant airborne transmission of COVID-19.

For men with beards that want to wear a respirator, you need to consider the seal between respirator and face
2/ Facial hair gets in the way of the seal between the face and the respirator, which is achieved when the respirator material is pressed against the face.

@CDCgov has a guide of which facial hairstyles work best for this purpose:

3/ I had posted a version of this idea earlier today, but I mistakenly said "masks" instead of "respirators" in the first tweet, and it seems to have caused a lot of confusion.

So I've deleted it and posting this one instead

1/ ¿COMO EVITAR LA TRANSMISION DE COVID ESTAS VACACIONES?

Lo + importante: entender que nos contagiamos al respirar aire infectado (aerosoles con virus) exhalado por ALGUNOS (no todos) los infectados

En proximidad cercana, y en aire compartido en habitación

#CleanAirHolidays
2/ Darse cuenta de q esta es una PANDEMIA DE INTERIORES

20 veces + probable contagiarse en interior q en exterior (sólo lo explica transmisión por aire)

HAZ TODO LO Q PUEDAS AL AIRE LIBRE (reuniones de familia, trabajo, escuelas...)

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33249484/

#CleanAirHolidays
3/ Si tienes que ir a interiores, no hay BALA MÁGICA (una medida que por si sola nos mantenga a salvo)

Hay que hacer varias cosas para disminuir el riesgo.

1/ HOW TO AVOID TRANSMISSION and have #CleanAirHolidays?

Most important: understand and explain clearly that we get infected by breathing infected air (aerosols) exhaled by SOME (not all) the infected

Mainly in close proximity, and in shared room air

journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-… Image
2/ Recognize that this is an INDOOR PANDEMIC

20 times more likely to get infected indoors than outdoors (can only be explained by airborne transmission)

DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN OUTDOORS (family and work meetings, schools etc.)

nytimes.com/2020/07/17/nyr… Image
3/ If you have to go indoors, there is NO SILVER BULLET. You need to do multiple things to reduce risk.

I.e. the "SWISS CHEESE" model of @MackayIM
