#Aerosols

Needed some time to digest new paper on masks and coronavirus (seasonal ones, not SARS-CoV-2), flu, rhinovirus. Main points: 1) 4/10 patients shed coronavirus directly into aerosols (

Visualization of aerosols. They are different from large droplets. Aerosols stay airborne—that’s why they facilitate coronavirus transmission. #COVID19 (this video from CO2 imaging, but similar phenomenon as smoking & virus

Une nouvelle étude (non "peer reviewed" pour l'instant) plaide en faveur d'une diffusion du coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 par aérosols (fines gouttelettes et/ou particules en suspension dans l'air).https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.11

There was a tweet earlier that talked about how smoke produced from fires in Central America may create a stronger CAP. I don't know whether the CAP will be stronger

NEW: The conversation about whether the coronavirus can be transmitted by air stalled at one crucial point: Do aerosols at a distance contain infectious virus? And it turns out, yes,

1/ One of the big failures in our epidemic response is expertise that is rightfully concerned with all the nuances and details but fails to see the bigger picture— so

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

Most people who know me realise that I’m not a virologist, so take what follows with caution. There’s a lot of talk of aerosol transmission of Covid-19 today. I’d always

Channeling Carl Bersgtrom: calling bullshit on droplets vs aerosols@dan_diekema responded to my criticism, and I responded at the bottom of the thread. But reposting since it may be missed otherwise.https://twitter.com/dan_diekema/status/13

Non.Il y a dépôt d'aérosols sur la classe en 2 minutes. Cela ne veut pas dire contamination pour deux raisons:- une particule d'aérosol < 5 microns n'équivaut pas à une

Science magazine: We must shift our thinking and focus on Airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2.Inhalation is a major route. Viruses in large droplets fall to the ground in seconds within 2

Kimberly Prather, Ph.D.

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

On Friday, @CDCgov updated its guidance to say the coronavirus is airborne. On Monday, it went back to the previous guidance, which emphasizes droplets and distancing. What happened? 1/xhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/21/health/coronavirus-

Time to listen to scientists who have been warning about airborne transmission @kprather88 Difference between large droplets and aerosols How sure are you that the virus is spreading through aerosols?
