This thread is intended to hold up a mirror to the World Health Organization.

If a disease is airborne, does it make a sound?
If the World's Public Health Organization recognizes CoVid as airborne, does it make a sound? (Psst - it's airborne!)

Or does it release it quietly 2 days before Christmas?

Let's take a tour of the WHO's official announcements that CoVid is Airborne.

There was none - functionally.

It was released the week before Christmas.

Quietly.
December 21, 2021, @DrMikeRyan put out this video from the WHO account:

Where he never uses the word airborne.

December 22, 2021. @PeterASinger, special advisor to Dr. Tedros, releases this quiet statement regarding update to mode of transmission.

Let me stress how grateful I am that the WHO finally recognized #CoVidisAirborne.

Since then, have we

seen a huge media push from the WHO?

No.

And the effects of that lack? Are noticeable.

We continue to see the most of the field of IPC (with the notable exceptions of @VicLeungIDdoc @EvonneTCurran @eliowa @kalisvar ) continue to insist that CoVid is not airborne.
We see this play out in hospitals across the world.

With surgical masks being deployed as clinically equivalent to N95's/ FFP2/ FFP3.

We also see this play out in public health departments around the world.

WHO -> Country CDC -> State/ Province Public Health -> County/
District Public Health Department.

In YOUR local department, do YOU see them saying CoVid is airborne?

No.

We need more from the WHO. They should be saturating the airwaves.

I should be sick of seeing "CoVid is airborne" in all the WHO twitter accounts I follow.
Here's the mirror that I mentioned - I wanted to be very careful to give credit where credit is due.

@DirOPSPAHO - kudos for being the only WHO regional director whose official Twitter account, @pahowho, has said CoVid is airborne.

Let's see the rest. Image
@doctorsoumya - chief scientist, but tweeting in her personal capacity per her profile page

Counts. But doesn't actually count. (Still thank you!)

@DrTedros - anything he says from Twitter is official. Not tweeting in personal capacity.

Has not corrected the below tweet. And yes - the WHO has corrected tweets before.

I have the receipts.

@mvankerkhove - clearly labeled that she is the COVID-19 Technical Lead. Not tweeting in personal capacity.

From @gabbystern

My apologies - there's no nuance anymore. CoVid is airborne. And we are still not ready.

The official @WHO account.

@takeshi_kasai's @WHOWPRO has not said #CoVidIsAirborne - nor corrected the tweet below.

You'll notice that TB is clearly labelled as airborne below this tweet.

Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh's @WHOSEARO has NOT said #COVIDisAirborne. Nor corrected the below tweet.

twitter.com/search?q=from%… Image
Dr Ahmed Al-Mandhari's @WHOEMRO has NOT said #COVIDisAirborne

twitter.com/search?q=from%… Image
At the start of every disaster movie, there's a scientist that's ignored.

Turns out there's also a World Health Organization that can easily let the world know loudly that CoVid is airborne. Image
Or not.

🔥 Wildfire season, folks! 🔥

Got a smoky or smokey house from a fire or a BLT sandwich gone wrong?

TLDR;
Make a #CorsiRosenthalBox with activated carbon filters

AND CLEAN SURFACES:
By vacuuming, dusting; then wiping and mopping with a commercial, non-bleach solution. Pic of smoke and fire -  hopefully not headed your way.
Huge caveat. The carbon filters will fill up quickly with particulate matter.

While the smoke is ongoing? Regular filters.

After the smoke is over, while cleaning up? The activated carbon filters (ACF).

Someone is working on a variation of the CR Box w/ 3 regular panels,
1 ACF panel. Numbers are still being run. No ETA, so I am going forward with this thread, as is.

⚠️ACFs are also great for paint fumes.⚠️

BTW, this thread will get a fair amount of useful clarifications, so check the end of the thread, in a couple of days.

A new strategy.

I used this new study, that points to C0vid co-infection with StaphA, worsening StaphA, to write the HICPAC.

The patient safety pages do not recommend N95s.

This allows me to avoid the quarrel of StaphA OR C0vid being airborne.

Image
Image
And allows me to use their words on N95s being best for C0vid against them.

Soft-copy email below.

hicpac @ - just join these together.

This strategy can be used on every safety page for every disease.

Find the X CDC safety page. Confirm no N95s recommended. They never are.

And you are off to the races.

Some will think, "this is just some weird internet trick."

This is just us using their system against them.Scholar.google.com

A NEW Colorado Chicken farm outbreak with 1.34 million.

The one with 5 people confirmed infected, 64 pending, has 1.8 million, 10-14 days of work.

CDC team of 10 has just been dispatched for the 1.8 million.

The farms are about 35 minutes apart (thank you @0bFuSc8!)

Holy airborne H5N1.

69 symptomatic workers, 5 positive so far?

150 on antivirals?
It's always been airborne.

This means that it is more transmissible to the humans than before.

Not Covid levels. Probably not even original WT level.

But more transmissible to the humans than before.
Homeland Security moved to Level 2.

I get it. You need a place to decompress.

So, the Covid Careful tend to take umbrage to outdoor transmission studies.

Outdoors IS safer. But study after study has shown outdoor transmission.

As do these 2 studies.

Catching Covid Camping.

I deliberately began this thread with white men, because the only countries doing these detailed studies are Asian countries. As is this one.

But every time, a tinge of ethnocentrism creeps into replies. Please keep this in mind :) .
Many don't know that measles is airborne outdoors based on an hour long conversation with a young boy and his family, after the Special Olympics. No CCTV. No credit card tracing. No GPS.

Our first study? July 24–26, 2020. South Korea. South Korea had done an

Great summary below. Some important info not discussed by Dr. Hirschson.

This study adds to RECONFIRMING H5N1 is airborne.

Since seeing is believing, you are one of the VERY FIRST to see what H5N1 aerosols do to a cow lung.

🧵
Image
This study is by the USDA.

As I have, & will continue to point out, @nirav_uscdc, they continue to ensure dairy workers are NOT told to wear N95s. Or PAPR as indicated would be more comfortable by @RanuDhillon @sri_srikrishna.

But worn here in their lab. By them.

Aerosols, 3-5 microns, were nebulized into the cows nostrils.

Correction to the study...SOME of those that size will deposit into the Lower Respiratory Tract. Not all. Some will deposit into the Upper Respiratory Tract.

Some will be exhaled, and inhaled again.
