Slides & words from my @OSHA_DOL testimony on April 28, 2022. I really hope it helps as there is no excuse to not fully protect healthcare & essential workers from airborne transmission of this virus. All workers deserve full protection. #COVIDisAirborne

Is this really still happening? I hope @OSHA_DOL was really listening. We tried our best to help HCWs and other essential workers in hospitals and ALL healthcare settings. It is crazy that the spread continues. My main mantra for nearly 2 years? (1/4)
Public health officials and experts need to make it clear #CovidIsAirborne. To those who fought, smeared, and denied it, shame on you. You have a chance at redemption right now if you will share that you were wrong and why it matters to add better airborne protection for all(2/4)
I won’t name names…but people in the infection control community who were upset at me for calling out their resistance, and virologists who said it not airborne and then airborne only under nuanced conditions…this is a call for you to stand up, own it, and help send a better 3/

Nice to be done with my OSHA testimony. 2.5 hours! I was honored to be part of such a wonderful panel @Don_Milton @brosseau_lisa @drdavidmichaels Dr. Robert Harrison Dr. Rosemary Sokas. An escape into logical simple explanations to help protect others-quite refreshing! 1/4
Thanks to everyone who sent ideas and support. It was extremely helpful. Tough to pack it all into 10 minutes--but others covered many parts I missed. 2/3
A kind email I just got..."I just finished listening to your testimony and all I can say is “WOW”! You were “fast and furious “ and excellent! Too bad your message didn’t get transmitted two years ago - we could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives." 3/4

We have not gotten infected. It is becoming rare. How?

1. Wear a good fitting mask. See previous tweets. (1/)
2. Avoid crowded indoor spaces where people are not wearing masks. (2/)
3. Realize shared indoor spaces with no people can still have airborne virus (bathrooms, break rooms). (3/)

I can’t believe what I just heard on @MSNBC. @kavitapmd just stated a test for N95 mask seal is spray perfume and if you smell it, the seal is not good. Nooooooo! You smell the gaseous vapor…molecules that masks can’t block. Aerosols w/ virus are MUCH larger. Terrible seal test.
More info on correctly testing fit of mask which has become even more crucial as the airborne virus has spread, mutated, and become even more infectious.
In answer to questions about masks/respirators I wear…N95 3M flex, 3M Aura, Powecom KN95, and the durable NanoMask from @Prescientx1 elastomeric respirator when I want to be extra safe. The flex is my favorite respirator in terms of breathability. I don’t love head straps. (1/2)

A wonderful feel good story on @CBSSunday. A must watch w/ @DrLaPook. He is such a kind person with tremendous empathy. Feel so lucky to have met him during this pandemic. Link to our very first June 2020 interview--has been watched thousands of times.

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.
