There are ~10 million doctors in the world.

Here are 10 who have literally been 1 in a million during the pandemic.

We can't thank you enough. ๐Ÿ™

The whole IPAC PRECAUTIONS paradigm used in healthcare is fundamentally wrong

It's been wrong for decades

So long in fact that it's become enshrined in stone

Fossilized

Immutable

Regarded as a Universal Truth

In reality it's a Fundamental Lie
Take "CONTACT PRECAUTIONS" for example (please ๐Ÿ˜†)

Gowns don't do what we think they do

Especially for basic endemic diseases like MRSA & VRE

Especially cheap, flimsy, gappy, disposables that barely cover us leaving clothes & legs & shoes & arms & head & neck exposed
The landmark BUGG RCT found universal gowning & gloving did NOT reduce MRSA or VRE acquisition compared to standard precautions

It looks more and more like MV Hondius ANDV outbreak was a super spreader event

One person infected 8 to 10 others

Very common with airborne pathogens Image
It's a warning shot across the bow

ANDV spreads very easily

When conditions are right

So do other diseases

Like H5N1

And SARS2

And MERS

And yes, even Ebola

Or any on this list Image
Epidemiologists call that "overdispersion"

When conditions are right, transmission is very high compared to the average

The average is called R0

Overdispersion is called k

We are obsessed with R0

We should focus on k

The hantavirus outbreak has raised a few major concerns for me โ€” and none are directly related to the outbreak itself.
Starting with ppl continuing to rely completely on minimum guidance from storied institutions like WHO & CDC
We need to keep abreast of rapidly evolving science

Large institutions aren't good at that

And we need to walk the walk by implementing newly informed solutions

Sooner rather than later

Last week, I thought the pandemic potential for ANDV was small

Infinitesimally small

Less than 1%
On May 8, WHO updated their guidance

They used words like "airborne" and "respirator"

They announced the change publicly

They upgraded the risk

Several nations followed suit

A plan was announced that included mandatory quarantine
But after seeing the clown show of execution that has followed

And is about to unfold

I now think the potential for pandemic is higher

Much higher

It's really up to the virus and blind luck at this point

๐Ÿงต "Cough into your elbow" has no peer-reviewed origin

Researchers traced it to a 2006 hospital video

And a 1994 quote from a pediatrician who said she learned it from daycare

Neither CDC nor WHO can tell you who invented it

It's just folklore that gained a following
Here's what the evidence actually says ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ“„ Zayas et al. 2013: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC38โ€ฆ
Both WHO (2006) & CDC (2007) admitted that cough etiquette recommendations were made "on the basis of plausible effectiveness rather than controlled studies"

That was 20 years ago

The evidence base has barely moved since

This is IPC dogma, not evidence-based practice

Tomorrow is my Twitter anniversary

6 years of taking on .@WHO directly on Twitter about droplet dogma

Of pointing out their failure to tell the world that COVID is airborne

After they published this rubbish Image
I first referenced a freshly published paper w easy to understand, hard to deny, visuals that showed coughs & sneezes produced 'jets' that could travel 8m or more, included a continuum of particle sizes & persisted in the air Image
This was after spending 2 months trying to convince early Twitter & WHO influencers that Covid was airborne & to pls help warn the world
