Airplanes. Measles. 🧵

Measles Claimed 207,500 lives in 2019.

who.int/news/item/12-1…

CoVid claimed 3 million, although the official toll was 1,813,188.

For 2020 and 2021, aggregate, 18.2 million.

And now? CoVid is as
transmissible as measles. Or almost as.

Yet airplane transmission minimizers would have us believe we can safely ride planes.

Let's take a quick look at what the USA does with measles exposure on flights. 👇👇

That was for one case of measles on board.

WHY?

Why would the government go to all that effort if airborne diseases are NOT easily transmissible on airplanes?
But maybe the US is just overly cautious. Let's look at the EU.

Nope. They contact EVERY SINGLE passenger and crew member.

WHY?

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Because transmission is possible.

Just like it is with CoVid, also an airborne disease.

And yet minimizers want us to take off our masks for situations in which measles are still on the books.

Guess what happens with measles cases on planes today?
👇 Just last month.
Local health departments were getting passenger manifests.

Frantically calling all the passengers.

Ordering quarantine.

And on that same exact flight, a CoVid+, was quietly tapping their fingers to their favorite song.

You might be reading this while on a plane right now.

Glance at the maskless guy or girl next to you, listening to their music.

And realize that #MeaslesIsAirborne.

That #COVIDisAirborne .

Oh - the song that both were listening to?

BTW, I just realized that someone will notice that for measles they try and contact within 5 days, so they can administer medicine.

Kind of sounds like that would work pretty well with the Test & Treat program, doesn't it?
Realized that the 3 million needed to have "in 2020" added to it or reads like in 2019. Sorry!

How do you politely say that someone is lying?

In this thread, he says there have been a handful of outbreaks in 40 years.

Handful is a few.

Here's 8 CoVid:

8 precovid - 2016.

16 > handful - with zero effort on my part.
There are many more. Let's move on.

That last study illustrates why the actual count is lower than it should be.

Which he does not mention.

The reason? Contact tracing is 2 rows.

Even today with all that is known about airborne diseases.

What about CoVid? The most widespread disease a century?

Since the development of the commercial flight?

#MedTwitter - I was wondering why Wen went on a blocking rampage on all of the medical blue checks the last few days.

It's because she's now trying to play like she's on CNN to give good advice to @katiahetter, CNN Science editor.

🧵
Fundamentally, Wen is an antimasker and it shows in her lack of knowledge.

"If you are going to wear a mask, please wear a well-fitting, high-quality mask -- an N95, KN95 or KF94 mask."

No. Has to be a valveless N95.

"simple cloth masks. They may think that those masks are protecting them, but they aren't doing much"

Old seatbelts don't do much.

But you should wear seatbelts.

Public Health is all about clarity of messaging. CNN is doing the American people no favors by hiring Wen.

But-

Two years worth mixed due to paucity of photos from one.
