This is what needs to happen…the virus is in the air. This is what people should see when they walk in any public space instead of jugs of hand sanitizer. Thanks @Amal4Solutions. @WHOSTP this will raise awareness and protect @POTUS and others. We need clean indoor air ASAP.
Think of the CR box as a mask for the entire room. The virus gets sucked into the box instead of your lungs…same with allergens, smoke, wildfire ash, dust, pollen, and other infectious viruses.
After 1 month of operation in a classroom. Would you rather have that black stuff go in your lungs? It’s a no brainer. Thanks @ARISense_AQ .
One month earlier…
To clarify, yes the pix with Biden are photoshopped. I thought it was obvious. Sorry for getting peoples hopes up…let’s keep pushing for this though. With the recent @WHOSTP clean air initiative, we are getting closer.

Just heard about a poll which shows that most people still believe handwashing is the #1 way to protect yourself from COVID-19. I do not understand how this is possible. Seeing current situation in DC (no masks, indoors, close), it is clear people remain clueless. (1/4)
This stems from poor messaging by @CDCgov that has led to confusion. Yes, @CDCgov now says "aerosol transmission" but they place it on equal ground with droplet and fomite transmission. (2/4)
Would be great if the @WhiteHouse and others in DC started setting a better example...masks indoors, CR boxes in view of cameras, etc. would go a long way in sending a better message. No, instead they have decided to make it look like the pandemic is over. (3/4)

#COVIDIsAirborne #CovidIsNotOver I just sent an email to someone who has been a huge airborne expert and an airborne hero to many of us during this pandemic. You might be able to guess who. I wanted to share the message...(1/)
Starts here:I just wanted to write and say how the White House event (Let's Clear the Air on COVID) and words that were so clearly stated two days ago have given so many of us hope. They have sparked an indoor air revolution that will impact public health for decades to come.(2/)
I have been pretty disillusioned by the poor unclear messaging from our own CDC (and WHO). Based on every scientific experiment to date, it has been clear that this virus is airborne for over two years. (3/)

How are experts chosen? Number of pubs? Effective science communicators? Awards? Selection to top scientific academies? I am truly at a loss in terms of explaining how the dialog is being controlled by people who have really done nothing in their own fields in terms of impact.
Here is just just one example--name not included--of a person with very little recognition of their work before the pandemic who has a HUGE voice on media. She has consistently argued against airborne transmission and masks. Many receipts. (2/) Image
Here is another example (UK pediatrician) who has consistently said kids don't catch and spread COVID-19. Seriously, he has caused many infections and deaths with his messaging. (3/) Image

COVID-19’s Challenges to Infection Control Dogma Regarding Respiratory Virus Transmission academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…
Abstract Image
Would add qualifier to the first line above--droplet transmission was believed to be the primary mode for many in infection control for at least 1 year. Others suggested "airborne" as early as Feb 2022-and experts like @linseymarr called out aerosols in March 2020. (2/4)

The NYT article by @DLeonhardt falls far short for reasons below AND he concludes masks and distancing didn't do much. How about inadequate public health guidance didn't work? For years, @CDCgov did not clearly tell people to wear good fitting KF94/KN95/N95. These masks (1/4)
work. Surgical and poor fitting cloth masks were clearly not enough for Delta and Omicron. Distance? 6 ft is a fairy tale that never changed. Up close is more concentrated but one can get infected in the same room at any distance when present long enough without a mask. (2/4)
The time of 15 minutes and 6 ft distance are completely arbitrary and never changed as the variants became much more infectious--how is that helpful guidance? @DLeonhardt concludes distance and masks did nothing. He completely missed the mark--the messaging did not work. (3/4)
