a post rebuild for .@CPHO_Canada for the love of humanity step in and declare repeatedly on national media to #Canadians, the healthcare systems & its workers, educators, administrators, parents etc. that #COVIDIsAirborne AIR HYGIENE must become the focus
This is not the message people need to see!
This is not the message either...
This should have never been the message!
...and like the virus this message spread by "experts"... a message that is wrong and never been corrected!
...and this... is good BUT does NOT stop airborne transmission!
...Canada's largest automotive group contributing to the misinformation...
A bad message from a global authority passed on by big brands everywhere throughout society...this is not the time for political correctness...
Leadership here would say..."we were wrong" ... "it is now proven #COVIDIsAirborne" "air hygiene is the solution" source control w/ N95+ masks, filtration, ventilation

1/n Because public health is so incompetent here are my thoughts if you're at home surrounded by wildfire smoke.
A. If you have the wherewithal - prepare your home for vacation & leave until its safe to come back. Arrange to meet your home owners insurance requirements.
B. If you can't leave, prevent outdoor air from entering your home; close windows, doors, and shut down any mechanical systems connected to the outdoors.
C. If there is an outdoor air duct connected to your air systems (furnace, a/c, HRV/ERV, central vac etc) block them...take pictures to remind yourself what you have done...so you can undo when its safe.
One of the cool studies I talk about is particle emission from carpets and respiration by infants crawling across the floor...it's a real thing...s/o to Wu & Boor from Purdue
I also tall about the use of PET scans to observe the brain's response to skin heating and cooling...both critical in thermal comfort design.
Risk: I've long ago used up my nine lives...ask my friends and family for the stories...but the most difficult of all was surviving respiratory failure...fear is not the problem...pain is...trust me...you don't want to be in a ICU hooked up to the Borg.
Notes from ICU...while intubated & conscious I wasn't able to communicate except through pen...I wrote these without sight due to HA eye infection...thus the scribble...this is for the tough talking covid risk adverse people that have no clue about ICU...look close...
Perspective: I was acutely aware of every tube connecting me to life support...worst - the intubation tube balanced on my tounge at the back of my throat...it took all my will power to manage that experience...
I hope this isn't a consolation prize...@DrMikeRyan@DrTedros if you don't come clean at this point you're done... you'll never ever have respect from a worldwide community of scientists and engineers - NONE. #COVIDIsAirborne always has been!
