@RonaldKlain called for #zeroEbola 6 times.

He is now THE White House Chief of Staff, the real power behind the throne.

What is zeroEbola? Next tweet. Image
A Nation-wide Campaign aimed at getting Ebola in one country to Zero.

EVERY man, woman, and child must commit to do their bit to end Ebola and stop it's spread. Image
How many have died from Ebola?

11,000.

How many Americans have died from Ebola?

2.
How many Americans have died from CoVid?

1,000,000+.

When you search for @RonaldKlain and #ZeroCoVid, notice what appears?

A chicken. It's easy to lead against an insignificant foe like Ebola. (Transmissibility is far worse than pathogenicity).

It takes real leadership to lead against a real foe, like CoVid. Image
We are still waiting for real leadership. For our FDR, crippled by a virus, but willing to fight.

#WaitingForFDR Image

Please explain how a study measuring physical improvement in a Cognitive and Behavioral study can have unmeasured Graded Exercise Therapy - and be considered as well-controlled. Not confounded.

So, I emailed Dr. Ebell and asked how that was nitpicking. Image
Image
I also agreed with the comments at the bottom of the study, linked below.

If you change analysis protocols post hoc? That's not nitpicking in my book. But maybe that is nitpicking?

Science is ALL about nitpicking. You ARE SUPPOSED to be very detailed, so you can be replicated, right? Alan is funny.

Anyway, amusing to spot the lobbying group for the Lightning Process on their advisory board.

Tch tch. Or is that nitpicking. ;) ? Image

A thread on airborne Ebola - the rest is accurate.

Let me emphasize that I agree far more than disagree with her, in general.

Declaring a thing debunked without actually debunking it, with facts, is not debunking.

So, let me debunk this. Image
Dr. Kuppila has excellent credentials, and has earned her laurels.

If we accepted the debunking of airborne Ebola on the basis of credentials, we would have given into the fallacy of appeal to authority.

:) not today.

She worked in an Ebola Treatment Unit in Sierra Leone,
coming back in December 2014, and now resides in Dallas per her very interesting StatNews article:



She did not get infected. We could have survivorship bias here - fortunately.

This is a reference to possible surgical mask usage by her.

Ebola - it's not all about respiratory aerosols.

DYK that you, and me, and everybody are Pig Pen from Charlie Brown?

We shed our entire outer layer of skin every 2-4 weeks, about 500 million cells daily.

Your corneocytes (outermost cells) lift off of your body with the
gentlest of micro-air currents. Like a leaf picked up off the ground for the briefest of moments in fall.

They act like 12 micron aerosols in float time, but 25% of total skin flakes are sub 5 microns...and you know what that means. Deep deposition - or shallow as
sub 5 likes to also deposit in the nose.

It's funny...I embrace push-back in debate. Tightens up my game.

Imagine if those skin flakes now have Ebola on them?

Two studies show that Ebola literally oozes through the skin - both ways. In and out.

Not shown in vivo, but

The WHO forbids contact tracers from masking or gloving up.

"Do not conduct home visits wearing personal protective equipment like masks, gloves, or
gowns."

It gets worse. Do not conduct home visits wearing personal protective equipment like masks, gloves, or gowns.
They have a handy how to reduce risk of catching ebola at home.

It even has 5 masks listed on it.

But not for the other family members.

"7. If the patient has vomit, diarrhoea or bleeding, a mask or a dry towel wrapped around the face can be used to protect the nose and mouth Image
7. If the patient has vomit, diarrhoea or bleeding, a mask or a dry towel wrapped around the face can be used to protect the nose and mouth when touching the patient or items soiled with blood or body fluids. A waterproof gown, eye protection, gloves and rubber boots should also be worn in these circumstances.
Here are the 5 face masks. Image

The "epidemiology" of Ebola tells us that it's not airborne. You've heard this over and over.

What drives it? The questions on the contact tracing form.

Quick 🧵. Image
COVID - the WHO and CDC said it wasn't airborne via aerosols, right?

The CDC said it was spread person to person via close contact - within about 6 feet.



And you remember it took FOREVER to get changed.

The contact tracing form was web.archive.org/web/2020032817…Image
Image
arranged around close contact. These are the questions driving the stats of how many and how are infected.



So, the CDC will only hear back what it's asking. This was the epidemiology of COVID - until it wasn't. web.archive.org/web/2020052514…Image

Speaking of silly, can we agree that the WHO has Ebola experts?

Let's talk about PPE, and a bias towards "less PPE is better." Image
The WHO EBOLA IPC guidance:


Foreshadow on PPE

"...due to the desirability of an off-
the-face design, and not for protection from aerosols, respirators may be used instead of medical masks"who.int/publications/i…
If you can stay 3 feet away while screening? No medical mask needed. Image
