1/ Since start of the pandemic there's been one obvious and absolute truth. COVID-19 is an airborne infectious disease. As such, to reduce chance of infection and community spread we must significantly reduce the amount of virus-laden aerosol particles that we inhale. Period.
2/ That was true every second of every day before vaccinations, and while vaccinations are critical for reducing severe outcomes of infection, we should still be doing everything possible to reduce our inhalation dose of virus-laden aerosol particles. The steps are simple, folks.
3/ Wear a high-quality mask (e.g., KN95 or N95) at all times while indoors w/ others outside your own family.
Avoid indoor spaces where people are not wearing high-quality masks or masks at all.
Where one has control, ventilate to a much greater degree.

Where one has control, ventilate to a much greater degree.
4/ Where one has control, increase effectiveness of filtration in HVAC systems (to MERV13 if possible) and/or use appropriately-sized HEPA filtration systems or DIY air cleaners - cleanaircrew.org/box-fan-filter…
5/ Lowering your inhalation dose lowers your probability of infection and, thus, lowers the extent of community spread if the majority of others do the same. High quality mask, avoid non-essential high risk environments, ventilate, filter. QED
6/ A simple message that should have been repeated for much of the past two years on a daily basis by those the public looks to for guidance.
It’s not rocket science. It's not a Rubik's cube. It's simple, folks. Just do it!
