Re the new reports of SARS-CoV-2 losing all infectiousness in ten minutes or whatever. Be skeptical. 1. Never decisions based on 1 pre-print; 2. problems with that pre-print; 3. wide range in stabilities. Here's a cold corona w/ half life of 65 hours at 20degC 50% RH. From 1985.
Just gather up a bunch of data, then you have a rough idea.
Even if done properly the experiment might be an outlier for whatever reason. So this isn't meant to be too critical of the pre-print (which I don't plan on reading) just a general comment.
So once more we've done nothing to prepare and it's back to school.
I'm honestly surprised public health still tells us to wash our hands.
Then again I suppose a chicken still struts around for a while even after you cut its head off.
Public did masks on its own. Public saw airborne on its own.
What did public health do? They ticketed people for being too close or too many people at a party or whatever useless nonsense.
Now they green light schools without actually doing anything.
Really pointing at the leadership here. They really don't occupy any social space other than to stand there and say whatever the government wants to do is medically appropriate.
We sure do pay a lot of people a lot of top dollar to stand there and bless the hustle.
1. Vaccines avoid much risk but not all long term effects. Get vaccinated.
2. Contrary to what she says, the thread does have a newer study in it.
3. Of course the studies are old. Cannot get data on Long COVID without time.
4. Warning of risk is not "inducing fear".
You will have to take care of yourself, that much is clear. Good luck.
Also I should point out the ridiculousness of the fear assertion.
If the original author wanted to stoke fear I doubt writing a rational 40-50 post thread with references to studies and their conclusions is really going to be the best way to do so.
