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…)
Not surprising that they are failing to control the spread, now in winter when people share the air indoors a lot. More cases than before we had vaccines.
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:
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.
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.
