It's always funny to me that virologists get everything and transmission so wrong. I guess because they work with viruses they think they know everything about them. 🤷

The sad part is we would assume that because they work with viruses they know everything about them. Image *everything about

COVID-19 took measles out back and absolutely SHOT IT DEAD.

1 sick player infected 100% OF BOTH HOCKEY TEAMS - 42 people - then another 102 spectators.

172 people in total.

You can watch it sweep the first team then the second team then the stands in the epi curves.

Wow. mdpi.com/2075-5309/14/6…

Has anyone worked up the ladder of denial for bird flu?

- We have not found bird flu.

- We have found bird flu in one bird. There is no evidence of bird to bird transmission. - We have found bird flu in many birds and there is bird to bird transmission but it has not moved to other mammals.

- We have found bird flu in a cow. However, we have not found evidence of cow to cow transmission.

- We have now found bird flu in many cows.

Hey, CDC. Stop testing the milk.

Start testing every single farmworker.

I dare you. Well you can just do the ones on the farms where you found avian flu 😉

I'm so fed up with people taking the WHO seriously.

Wow they buried the lead.

COVID might be up to an R0 of 24, eating measles for breakfast. Image Very comparable at median of 11 to measles, which is probably 9 to 12.

For anyone reading this, he means "Airborne" as in the three viruses that require Airborne precautions.

Those are _defined_ as TB, measles and chickenpox.

They are "airborne" because they are "Airborne."

It is totally ludicrous, yes. It means negative pressure rooms and N95s, which is why they desperately do not want COVID to be called "Airborne".

⚠️Please people.

We are no longer calling it "fire".

It is "potentially harmful chemical combustion energy output". This of course means the fire department will be renamed as well.

It will be called the "organization for the suppression of potentially harmful chemical combustion energy output situations."

@mvankerkhove @CIDRAP @WHO Thanks.

Seems most health care locations (in Ontario) ignore the WHO. That's too bad.

This is December 2020 for anyone who wants it.

COVID - alone - is the third leading cause of death in Canada in 2022.

It kicked flu pneumonia and all lower respiratory infections out of the way like they were nothing.

And everybody knows nobody's counting COVID cases. So this is a huge undercount.

mastodon.social/@jmcrookston/1… It just coughed right in their faces and took their lunch money.

SARS-CoV-2 not foolin'.

Comin for you now hesrt disease nunber 2 with 57000 deaths. And which is an entire category of death not a single reason.

Lisa's patients aren't just suffering from physical ailments; they're indebted to a shadowy organization that exploits their weakened immune systems for sinister purposes

@drbecs @sameo416 @EvonneTCurran @WHO Titles of articles in a conference compilation I located, from 1980.

Entire conference devoted to aerobiology

mastodon.social/@jmcrookston/1… @drbecs @sameo416 @EvonneTCurran @WHO Papers incl "Spread of TB via recirculated air on a naval vessel", "The role of ventilation in the spread of measles in an elementary school", and Langmuir, former CDC director, admitting he got airborne spread wrong but also _herd immunity_

Killing and disabling for no reason

So the droplet people said viruses travel in droplets only. Two metres.

But ... How would that work? And nobody could cite support.

I got suspicious.

A thread. I looked for something that proved droplet and found nothing.

That's right, not a single atudy proves droplet transmission.

Law firm Owens Wright LLP found liable for fraud.

[41] The circumstances of the two consent judgments challenged by the Applicants are replete with the badges of a fraudulent preference. These indicia of fraud have not been overcome or countered by Owens Wright. [42] I conclude, therefore, that the agreements leading to the two consent judgments in issue were therefore entered into contrary to section 3 of the Assignments and Preferences Act. As a consequence, the consent judgments of August 9, 2021 and November 17, 2021 are null

"Catching it is inevitable" the mantra from the mouths of babes who don't understand network effects.

Mitigations can have outsized effects. Not everyone is connected to everyone else. Few spread. May explain founder effect & why takes time to migrate from initial population (eg monkeypox, HIV, etc.)

SARS-CoV-2 RNA and virus in the air. 🧵

Shall we do some time travelling and see what we find?

Let's go! SARS-CoV-2 RNA in hospital air in Simgapore.

Lawyers, do formal orders _need_ to have a costs term?

I have seen formal orders where the costs are dealt with in a subsequent order and yet somebody is telling me otherwise.

Does anybody have a case on point? I hate to spend any time on this stupidity. I mean a substantive costs term.

Sometimes costs are dealt with 3 months later.

People aren't waiting 3 months to get the formal order from the trial.
