1/The #AstraZeneca vaccine is a version of an adenovirus (common cold virus) that delivers instructions to our cells to make the Spike protein of the coronavirus. That way our immune

SARS-CoV-2 transmission on aircraft 13 passenger cases in plane w/ just 17% occupancy.Unclear if all transmission was onboard, though very likely that some were.Result: the 13 casesa total of 59

SARS-CoV-2 stays airborne & accumulates indoors, soGerman government is betting on ventilation. Help to schools for air purifiers; Grants to improve ventilation systems in buildings; Deploy CO2 sensors to tell

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

NIH STUDY: 3 interventions had the most impact on COVID infections: closing schools, closing bars, wearing masks. Here's Maryland where trajectory of case rate (green) hospitalizations (blue) and death (black)

VIRUS RESURGING, and it's not even winter yet: after crushing the curve, France/Spain recording more cases than during prior peak. Consequence of ill-prepared reopening, travel, spread among youth, bar-goers...In some

1. CDC: nearly 11,000 exposed to coronavirus on flights. Agency investigated 1,600 cases of people who flew while at risk of spreading the coronavirus, identifying nearly 11,000 people who potentially

1. Japan has a remarkably low death rate despite avoiding harsh lockdowns. That's because it a) recognized early that the virus doesn't just transmit at close distances, but also long-range

In case there's doubt that the virus can spread through respiratory particles that float in air and travel far, I wanted to share these studies:1. Indoor airborne event: plant worker

Since political officials are trying to censor CDC reports, I thought I'd share 12 of the ones I've found useful:1. Children of all ages are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. Of ~600

1) Russia’s approval of an early vaccine candidate is reckless as it places domestic- and geo-politics ahead of science and medicine. According to the @WHO vaccine tracker, the Gamaleya candidate

NEW PERSPECTIVE PIECE: masks can be leaky but even when they don't catch all the virus, it appears that they catch enough of it to only cause mild disease. Can
