Let's have a good old fashioned Mask Conference rater!

I haven't done one in quite a while, but since @RWalensky is killing the map?

Send me your best photos/videos of the nation's best (at infecting the nation).

While Walensky is a political employee? Not one fought for
us.

To start? The CDC letting us know that "Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officers investigate and respond to disease outbreaks and other #PublicHealth threats. "

Except...

They said not to call it an outbreak regarding their own outbreak.

Hmm.

I wonder where we can find a definition of outbreak, @CDCMMWR ?  CDC official said the agen...
Two or more patients with COVID-19 are discovered to be linked. Like at a conference of Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officers.

Ouch.

cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…. Two or more patients with C...
Not a strong start for #CDCEIS23.

Not one respirator to be seen. 0/10.

But transmission? Could be 8/8! @friendlycovid19 - what say you?

Image
Ooo. Another bad score on the old respirator transmission prevention scale. 0/10.

Transmission? 4/4!

Image
Oho! 22/22 on the transmission scale. Which, of course, is a 0/0 on the respirator scale.

It really is too bad that Covid is not over.

But we got to see those CDC smiles! Nothing like seeing the bright white of victorious smiles.

Image
As a matter of fact, there was only one. ONE respirator.

That's a failing ZERO out of TEN for the group that's supposed to parachute in and save us.

They couldn't save themselves if they tried.

Might as well go buy Vitamin D from Mercola as pay attention to @RWalensky. Image

Are you reading this thread because you said you were worried about CO2 in an N95?

Hypercapnia?

1. Don't worry - be happy. This thread explains why you should not be worried about those things.

2. If still worried? We'll get to what YOU can do about it.
In 1998, long before the mask controversy of 2020, the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard was passed.


Cntrl F for
"carbon dioxide", "dead space", or "physiological burden".

Before they passed it, they consulted industry, unions, academic researchers. osha.gov/sites/default/…Image

Image
Dozens of studies addressing CO₂ buildup, dead space, and other tolerability issues in respirators.

Seriously, Cntrl F above.

But there is a long history they built upon within NIOSH AND OSHA - AND before.

Tired: Infectious fecal and respiratory aerosols.
Wired: Infectious urine aerosols.

Do you know how many aerosols you generate at the urinal, standing up?

Do you know how many aerosols you generate on the toilet, sitting down?

Do you know you have a thermal plume lifting
both up to your breathing zone?

Do you know that you can get an N95 at Home Depot or Lowes - and you can wear it into their public restrooms?

Studies to come to avoid the Musk Masking algorithm.

"COVID IS OVER, YOU DON'T NEED THAT!"

Reason 4,657 on why I mask now that I understand aerosols and transmission. It's not all about COVID.

This is Chicago, but it's really Anytown, USA. Image

They think wrong ( this is not a subtweet at Dr. Johnson).

How do we know TB is airborne?

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 Image
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?

Of course, yet another new study points an accusatorysciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you @BarryHunt008 for flagging this.

@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 Image
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.

And them blocking me, is probably because Image

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?

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…In February 1981, a measles outbreak occurred in a pediatric practice in DeKalb County, GA. The source case, a 12-year-old boy vaccinated against measles at 11 1/2 months of age, was in the office for one hour on the second day of rash, primarily in a single examining room. On examination, he was noted to be coughing vigorously. Seven secondary cases of measles occurred due to exposure in the office. Four children had transient contact with the source patient as he entered or exited through the waiting room; only one of the four had face-to-face contact within 1 m of the source patient. The...
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.

In this study, it comes with Experimental evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 remains viable within aerosols with a half-life of approximately 1-3 hours, though changes in aerosol microenvironment may shorten viability to minutes. However, it remains unclear how long airborne SARS-CoV-2 can transmit infection. Whole genome sequencing of nasopharyngeal samples obtained from patients on an outbreak unit suggested in-room transmission of the delta variant, AY3 lineage, of SARS-CoV-2 to two patients admitted 1 hour, 43 minutes and 4 hours, 45 minutes after discharge of an asymptomatic infected patient. These findings suggest...
