Gonna debunk some myths about coronavirus because I’ve seen lots of people (some friends/fam) fall for it
References will be either from peer reviewed scientific journals, or preprints that will eventually go through peer review before being published
Also some common sense

The virus is REAL, it’s not fake. The genome has been sequenced 5000+ times and it is publicly available for all of you geniuses that think you know more about ‘science’ and ‘data’ than actual scientists
5000+ rounds of replicable genomic sequence data: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/sars-cov-2-seqs/

There is no concrete SCIENTIFIC proof of the coronavirus being man-made or escaped from a lab. Any claim of this is racist conjecture.
HIV was not “genetically inserted” into the coronavirus sequence. The author of the study acknowledges his REACHING and has publicly retracted

This claim has no reference, because it’s just ridiculous, but this study author does a great debunk
In layman’s terms, the small genetic similarity (4 segments of sequence data out of thousands) is more likely to be coincidence than anything nefarious https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1223666856923291648?s=21

5G does not cause or explain the pandemic
There is plenty evidence out there on nnEMF and it’s potential harm. nnEMF negatively affects the cells calcium ion channels, among other effects
None of this logically explains the magnitude of hundreds of thousands of covid deaths

If anyone is claiming to you that the sickness and death were seeing is caused by 5G radiation, tell them to look no further than Iran
Iran has no 5G, meanwhile it has been one of the nations that are hit hardest by covid19

SARSCov2 arose naturally:
“By comparing the available genome sequence data for known coronavirus strains, we can firmly determine that SARS-CoV-2 originated through natural processes,” - Lead author of this study published in Nature Medicine https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9

Re: coronavirus is “fake” and caused by 5G - NO its NOT. The mechanism of host entry & replication is well documented. It involves spike protein of the coronavirus interacting with ACE2 receptors on cells to allow host entry and subsequent replication https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.30.015891v2
On Vitamin D & Sunlight/Exercise (which people didn’t care abt until it had to do with reopening):
While Vitamin D status is correlated to being protective w/ viruses, this does NOT confer with immunity. You can still catch (and SPREAD) the virus even with adequate Vitamin D

Maskless exercise: When in motion, you leave behind a trail of droplet particles. 6 feet of distance only effective while standing still
Walking would require >12 feet of distance
Biking would require >30 feet of distance

White skin is an adaptation to lesser sunlight in temperate climates
The only thing in this world that less melanin means is a better ability to convert sunlight to vitamin D
This might explain why more minorities suffer from covid
Again, vitamin D is 1 SINGLE FACTOR wrt covid

Certain ethnic groups in general have higher levels of ACE2 receptors than caucasians. As noted earlier, ACE2 is the mode of entry for cov2 into host cells. East Asians have 30% higher ACE2 expression than any other ethnic group. https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202003.0191/v1
This discrepancy does not easily explain the ethnic differences in covid complications. In general, black people have similar ACE2 expression to caucasians.
Why then, are black peoples 4 times as likely to die from the virus than caucasians?

Black people are more likely to suffer from diabetes, hypertension, and due to socioeconomic factors, are more likely to live in less than favorable conditions (pollution, distance to grocery stores, etc).

OPINION (that is, this is the only tweet in the thread that can’t be backed up by scientific evidence):
Based on the previous 4 tweets in this thread, disregarding others outcomes when being irresponsible about the transmission of covid19 is RACIST whether you realize it or not

Onto masks, as I’ve seen lots of talk about masking being ineffective to stop the spread of SARSCoV2
We’ll start w/ particles, specifically in relation to cloth masks
I’ll dive into micron scale, particles vs respiratory droplets, & N95 respirators. Apologies for technicality.

Main argument is that the virus particle is in the micron scale (roughly 10 microns) rendering all mask wearing useless to prevent acquired infection
While the virus particle is in micron scale, a lot of spread is due to virus particle packaged within larger respiratory droplets
While the virus particle is in micron scale, a lot of spread is due to virus particle packaged within larger respiratory droplets
Furthermore this line of logic wrt aerosols disregards physics of particle travel, such as mechanical (physical) barrier interference, and electrostatic filtration
This hasn’t even factored in the reduction of spread by mask wearing, only prevented infection for the mask wearer

Aerosol transmission is still being studied. What we know is that masks are not 100% effective at blocking inhaled aerosols, including N95 masks. N95 masks block 95% of particles 0.3 microns or greater
Whats known is, physical masking reduces the spread: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0843-2

More on masks, this time mathematical modeling showing that mask wearing can bring the R value of SARSCoV2 to under 1.0
Guess now would be a good time to go into what R and R0 mean, which will help explain why “masks and distancing don’t work” is untrue

For all you armchair epidemiologists:
R0 is simplified as the base transmitability of the disease. It represents how many people a carrier will spread the disease to. R0 for SARSCoV2 is still undetermined, and it will likely never be ascertained.

Re or Rt, simplified to R, is current transmittability based on population’s behavior
R decreases with mask use and distancing
R > 1.0 means exponential spread
R < 1.0 means the virus will not be able to spread fast enough to become a major infection https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6302597/

Further complicating matters is the fact that infective transmission is not homogenous. This means certain individuals will shed and spread the virus more easily than other individuals
This introduces the parameter k which is a measure of how homogenous it spreads by individuals
This introduces the parameter k which is a measure of how homogenous it spreads by individuals
K informs R
While very boring and mathematical, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Existence of “super spreaders” means there’s no future mass gatherings, concerts, sporting events before this virus is eradicated
Because 1 super spreader in a crowd means higher R for everyone

Take the time to understand:
High R value, as affected by low dispersion homogenity value K, means that large gatherings without proper precautionary practices are the biggest detriment to “getting back to normal”
Hence the dismissal and refusal to acknowledge scientific recs:

the cytokine storm in lamens terms is your body turning your immune system against itself, leading to systemic organ failure
having a “healthy immune system” from “diet and exercise” won’t prevent this from happening. it may make it more likely https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30628-0/fulltext
