The asymptomatic do not transmit.
It's not airborne.
The vaccinated do not get infected.
Later .. or transmit.

With CoVid, those all began to be proved wrong by individual stories.

A two week puke cruise from South Hampton to the Canary Islands with 3,077 other guests, 1,205 crew members, and 1 apparently greedy cruise ship company (?) -@pandocruises.

How does a 5 HOUR WAIT to call the ship doc sound?

H/t @FriedmanJas

pocruises.com/find-a-cruise/…

Image
The situation on the ship with capacity for 3,192 passengers was described as ‘terrible’ and ‘serious outbreak.’  The bug has allegedly plagued Ventura for more than a month, with staff thinking it was gone after each cruise before the bug returned to wreak more havoc among guests and some crew.  Guests allegedly face a five-hour wait to call the ship’s medical centre because of ‘so many cases.’
The norovirus outbreak has been going on for 5-6 WEEKS.

How does people throwing up in the public spaces sound?

How does 250, most def an undercount, infected passengers sound?

Ah, @pandocruises? Besides doing the deep cleaning? Image
Norovirus is airborne.

Why not offer your passengers and crew FFP2s/N95s, and suggest they eat outside - until the outbreak is over?

Or....bring in a bunch of HEPAs for the dining room? In between the tables? Plus the N95s.

Dr. Marr wrote this. I respect her immensely, but completely disagree on this topic.

- She does not know the ventilation/filtration of every airport. She does not know who was just sitting in that spot moments before you found it. Aerosol stability, physics of aerosols, Image
speed of ventilation/filtration all agree with me on this. The Australian Church study of 45 feet transmission facing away agrees.

- On airplanes - the Harvard Aviation Public Health Initiative (APHI) disagrees with her, indicating masks are necessary

- On coughing, she might not be aware of the 58% presymptomatic transmission.

-Overall, she might not be aware of the:
✅ 38% LongCovid risk after 3 infections.
✅ It only takes one virion to start a covid infection (tight transmission bottleneck).

We can disagree, but still

This is a 🧵 that cuts through this CDC school guidance like the thread used in Netflix show "The Three Body Problem."

Their guidance will cut down the kids just like were cut down in the show.
Let's start with their tweet. It provides a framework to evaluate their actions against their words.

- preventing spread of infectious diseases.
-benefiting ALL students.
-maximize school attendance.

Let's start with preventing spread.

-Maximize school attendance
While preventing disease
Benefits all students is highlighted
The single most efficacious way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases is wearing respirators, as they stop both near and far field aerosols.

Are they mentioned in the intro page linked to? No. Masks are, but are buried.

People are logical.
cdc.gov/media/releases…

Teach and reinforce proper hand washing and respiratory etiquette. Take steps for cleaner air by improving ventilation in schools. Schools should consider ventilation enhancements and design when undergoing remodeling or when undertaking new building construction to optimize clean air. Clean, sanitize, and disinfect, when appropriate. Promote vaccinations for students and staff.

These folks refuse to give good real-life advice on how to clean up Hantavirus droppings.

And here we go - a shed with pressed board flooring and mouse droppings.

If I mop? Floor gets ruined.

If I blow it out with safety goggles and an N95 on?

Safely clean. And I

didn't have to pull everything out to get it done.

Real world aerosol-based solution versus a laboratory fomite-based solution.

@WADeptHealth - join us in the real world where viruses are airborne via aerosols - THROUGH THE AIR.

Or don't and let me gain followers by pointing
out your many many mistakes.

I would prefer to have no followers, and you putting out aerosol-based solutions.

But until then...thank you for being yet another useful tool to let me "gain clout."

CDC Influenza A monitoring is up.



They compare to last year's influenza season, and if up 80%? Begin investigating.

There are some latency problems with this, but let's ignore that.

Let's look at the geographic location problem. cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/h…

The thing is? While it's great to have this effort beginning, it is only covering 600 sites.

For Texas, it is Randall and Potter Counties. And there may be more than one wastewater treatment site in those counties.

@Alexander_Tin @DrJudyStone @MeganMolteni

Questions.

The FDA - monitoring people for 10 days. Which means calling them every day to see how they are. From the APHIS plan 👇.

But, per the Head of the FDA, the CDC is in charge of the workers' health?

Anyway, they are monitoring for 10 days. But incubation in poultry is 14 days, @DrEricDing.

@HelenBranswell crazy bird flu, right?



They don't know what it is in cows, per them, but they are going to drop it to 10 days because ?

(Thank you to @Alexander_Tin for his fantastic notes.)

Back on May 1st, Demetre shared there were 100 people being monitored.

But, in the above article, Colorado has 70 by itself. That was April 26.
