Getting our second Moderna shots! The nurse mentioned in passing that she works in a OR normally and I pounced. “Okay! Weirdest thing pulled out of someone’s rectum!?”Nurses are usually

Buying groceries is not an aerosol generating procedure. You don’t need an N95 for it. Thanks! Aerosol generating procedures include CPR, intubation/extubation (inserting/removing breathing tube), bronchoscopy (camera down your breathing

From 1979The coronaviruses are transmitted by the respiratory route. It has been possible artificially to induce infection in human volunteers by inoculating virus into the nose (7, 59). No other

A2.(1) Major historical error in 1910 became paradigm: + correct observation (ease of infection in close proximity) was misinterpreted as being due to ballistic droplets+ Stated that aerosol infection was

Some thoughts about anti-maskers: They seem convinced that aerosol spread dominates transmission, which I think is probably correct. And yet, they won't listen to the aerosol experts that suggest masks

An excellent article summarizing what we know about aerosol transmission, and the fact that it is likely driving the pandemic thru superspreading events: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3Af2f0a4e1-6939

A reminder about DROPLETS and MICRODROPLETS. 6 feet rule is not enough indoors with now established aerosol based transmission. #MasksOn #COVID19 2) Here is an earlier thread on evidence that

A few things I said in my new article but they might hear repeating: 1) virus is airborne. Meaning it can linger in air indoors, but will rapidly be diluted

This is pretty important proof of aerosol transmission in a room that has eliminated other possibilities. It’s why to take the ‘weird’ measures like time limits, ventilation & no loud

1/ Aerosol scientists don't agree. What kind of consensus is that? Does the discipline who studies transport of particles through the air, NOT count for a "consensus" of which particles

Modes of airborne transmission for SARS-CoV-2. The most common routes are short range and long range aerosol inhalation. Chance of being sprayed with a small number of falling droplets is

Ominous: we now have SMOKING GUN proof that #SARSCoV2 virus aerosol particles in the air are indeed infectious. Scientists captured air-floating Microdroplets, and then tested the air-derived virus to see
