1/ Sobre el origen de la COVID

Es un tema en q no soy experto. Al principio casi todos los virólogos decían q era origen natural

Mi impresión actual es q origen natural (de animal) o q un virus natural contagiase a un investigador en Wuhan son los 2 posibles. No se sabe seguro
2/ Leo los debates, y ese es mi resumen por ahora: las 2 hipótesis tienen buenos argumentos y son plausibles. No hay uno q sea claramente cierto o falso.

Si les interesa el debate, gente a la q seguir incluye @MichaelWorobey, @Ayjchan, @c_drosten y otros virólogos
@MichaelWorobey @Ayjchan @c_drosten 3/ Los medios chinos andan echando balones fuera. Si es verdad, por ocultarlo, y si no lo es, para que no se les acuse injustamente.

4/ Como decía Goebbels, "la mejor defensa es un buen ataque".

Así q se inventan teorías conspiratorias. Nadie serio piensa q salió d un laboratorio en EEUU, q yo vea.

Pero los rusos lo dicen en sus canales de desinformación y con trols, tal vez incluyendo esta persona anónima

1/ Examples of GOOD PRACTICES worldwide to stop transmission, given that #COVIDisAirborne

There are many BAD examples in a separate thread (), that others should avoid.

Here I will try to compile some of the good examples that others should copy.
2G/ UK Government: "COVID is like smoke" with a clear visualization:

[Note that many countries have both good and bad examples. Such is the situation we are in, as @WHO et al. don't provide a strong message that would lead to the good mssgs prevailing]

3G/ FRANCE, government: good visualization of the behavior of airborne aerosols indoors, and the impact of ventilation.

1/ So @mvankerkhove of @WHO has admitted that #COVIDisAirborne, but they avoid saying it on purpose

Does she think that decision has harmed the public health response, or cost lives? No, she says. "People know what they need to do to protect themselves"

2/ I beg do differ. I think that decision by @WHO is one of the LARGEST ERRORS IN THE HISTORY OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Let's compile evidence of how govts and organizations either don't know how to protect their citizens, or use @WHO's ambiguity to avoid doing so

Pls reply w/ examples!
3/ CANADA: TODAY telling a top airborne transmission scientist (@linseymarr) that she needs to remove her respirator and put on a leaky surgical mask, before sharing the air in a bus! As the highly transmissible AIRBORNE Omicron grows exponentially

1/ Why is there such EXTREME RESISTANCE by @WHO, @CDCGov and IPC(*) to clearly state that COVID-19 is a dominantly AIRBORNE disease?

TLDR: see slide

*: IPC: Infection Prevention and Control scientists and professionals
2/ This is extremely puzzling, as it is now extremely obvious that airborne transmission is DOMINANT for COVID-19.

There are mountains of evidence, e.g. as summarized in our @TheLancet publication.

And NO evidence whatsoever for droplets or surfaces!

3/ I've pondered this question a lot. I've been involved in discussions with @WHO, many IPC and public health researchers and practitioners, politicians in multiple countries etc.

This thread summarizes my understanding of the causes of this situation. I look forward to comments

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:

thelancet.com/article/S0140-…
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:

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:
