@WHO - #COVIDisAirborne !

who.int/news-room/ques…

Also, @WHO - updated mask recommendations for the general public!

Oh...

General public does NOT need FFR's (aka N95's aka FFP2).

Even if you are taking care of someone with CoVid.

Kids below the

who.int/publications/i…
age of 5? Don't need masks.

And yes - the IPC group is all over this. Conly, Seto, etc.

A huge group of people.

The usual 'harms'. Harder to breathe, etc. (🙄).

No discussion of the harms of CoVid.

I was going to do the charitable take first. Not this week.

If I was the CDC about to release a shit-storm of epic proportions, how could I possibly tamp it down?

Put the shit-sandwich in the fine print.

Then, change the part that everyone actually reads after the fact.
Sorry for the language above, but is Trump running the @WHCOVIDResponse AND @CDCgov from Mar-A-Lago?

The charitable take?

Nope.

I'm plumb out of charity for any of them.

The EMS should be in N100 Elastomerics.

nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-fd…

But....
Your high-quality masks are only good IF you wear them.

Just like in Alberta, Canada, where N95's are available for the asking.

But not being used.



Why? Could it be because today's crop of HCW's were taught incorrectly what airborne is?
Could be. Look at my pinned tweet.

The two biggest studies used to justify surgical masks as equivalent to N95's?

Had nurses donning gear 3 feet and 6 feet away from patients sick with an airborne disease.

Faux News lovin' Uncle Frank may end up quoting @kristenmeghan when he argues about masks with you.

She's an antimasker who's supposedly a "Senior Occupational Hygienist".

She's actually just a grifter from everything I've seen, and not a nice one at that. 👇👇
Michigan is just getting ravaged by CoVid with the hospitals just swamped, so very understandable that @MichiganTea put this amazing thread together.

BTW, remember her title, "Senior Occupational Hygienist?"

Yeah, about that....

Imagine the optics of Washington Mask Ambassadors in front of Pike Place Market.

Helping do fit tests. Handing out free N95's with a fit test/seal check QR code/ one-pager.
Mask ambassador? Yes. They are already being prototyped at UCDavis.

And they were found to be the most efficacious way to get people masking up in the Bangladesh study.
👇👇



But surely fit testing is too complicated for the common man?
Not at all.



Fit testing and seal check videos at the bottom of this thread.

Before you get there, you'll learn there are NO certifications to become a fit test administrator.

You just need to know how to do it.

We cannot depend on the CDC or OSHA - but we have each other through this beautiful thing, the internet.

And there's an awful lot that we can do .

Remember...the WHO has declared CoVid as airborne.

You can leverage that to lobby your state officials.

You can overcome fatalistic messaging with mutual aid.

Help your neighbors!

Keep on fighting....every day delayed is a day closer to better medicine.



But I do NOT think we will all get it.

N95's/N100's work!

In 1918, did they have those?

In 1948?

In 1955?

Hell no!
