Further tying asymptomatic transmission to monkeypox. It would be foolhardy to think this does not happen.
You might wonder why I am hammering down on this? #CoVidIsAirborne was SIGNIFICANTLY delayed due to authorities proclaiming not airborne since not asymptomatic.
Not this
time.
At the very least, even the most stubborn Benjamin Button type of science writer would concede that we should assume asymptomatic transmission is occurring.
Especially because they report what the authorities are reporting.
And the CDC as seen in an MMWR, used the
precautionary principle to euthanize those animals who might have asymptomatically transmitted monkeypox.
I haven't found any studies actually documenting the production of aerosols during sex - would love to give a H/t and include you in the thread if you know of one.
Given that the Gesundheit 2 might be ergonomically difficult to work with during sexual activity?
#MonkeypoxIsAirborne - because NHS from the UK says its spread by coughing or sneezing. Which as we all know is accompanied by turbulent clouds of aerosols.
Which are airborne. This is for sneezing - coughing has the same basic mechanism.
As always - there are many forms of transmission with monkeypox. Though as we saw above, thanks to the WHO, actual fomite-based infection is far below .5% of cases.

71 guinea pigs gave their lives between 1956 and 1958 in the eponymous study by Riley et al, getting TB air piped in from some TB patients, to prove TB is airborne.
Influenza is kind of airborne per most doctors. But kind of not.
So....

We need some volunteers.
Will horses be those volunteers that finally lay it all out?
Yes - but none of them lost their lives.
Air samplers were deployed and tracked horses inoculated with Equine influenza virus (EIV).
From the very first day post inoculation (dpi), until the
12th day, EIV was found in the air, in this new study.
With no horses, or guinea pigs, hurt in the process.
But sure, influenza's not airborne - if you are the USDA, right, @nirav_maine?
@ThailandMedicaX, retweeted by some because of their controversial takes (ahem, their lies?), is saying that FAR-UVC is dangerous because somehow the light will get into the lungs.
Lol.
They are just apparent supplement grifters.

I noticed they were using @NukitToBeSure's excellent torches as their example picture.
Strange to be so selective of an example picture for someone purporting to be an independent news source on health.
Hmm. I helped defend Nukit against charges of
racism by a very nasty couple who it turned out just do not like UVC, personally. I wonder....
Yep, ThailandMedicalX has blocked me.
But, it's weird for a purported news source to block someone like me @gorskon
@doritmi @19joho.
You've heard of "The Three Problem." - great book, and excellent Netflix series.
If you want to be avoid catching Covid, you probably have "The Empty Room" situation in the back of your mind.
How long after a room had people in it, can you safely demask?
Thread.

Measles was thought to be airborne after a child caught measles an hour after the infected child left the same office.
.
Interestingly, you can see the reluctance in blue below to call measles airborne. Much like the WHO with @mvankerkhove researchgate.net/publication/19…
which spent millions to rebrand SARS2 as "through the air" rather than airborne.
It is an inconvenient truth that then leads us to the study showing an #EmptyRoom SARS2 infection at 1 hour and 43 minutes, and FOUR HOURS and FORTY-FIVE MINUTES.
