!!Thread!!My recent cited technical writeup on the mechanics of exacerbating airborne spread - DM for full document
The Covid conversation should have begun with minimum viable particle size under pressure, which for Covid size particulates is .06 microns.
1/
This particle is under .3 microns, placing it firmly within the radically behaving particulate range, noting that multiple virions can compose a single particle cluster and still fall well under that threshold.

The conversational pivot would have then become about respiratory emission particle size ranges, and we’d have observed that around 90% of exhaled particulates fall within the radically behaving particulate airborne particulate range.

Cloth masks have been shown to have 97% particle penetration, and 44% for surgical masks, while 71% of new cases reporting always masked, and 14% masking most of the time.

Why does this matter? We heard DROPLET nonstop for 6 months before any governing body began acknowledging airborne pathogenic spread, without ever correcting course on our nation’s PPE recommendation considerations, especially as source control.

This is the exhale plume of fine particulates created by this mask directly within respiratory range of test subjects and materials, contaminating site environ.
Exhale matters a great deal with an airborne pathogen.

Covid is a low minimum infective dose pathogen, so when every breath you take increases atmospheric viral load in an enclosed space, and it doesn’t take very much of it for vulnerable individuals to get sick, a contagious individual should not wear a mask or respirator 8/
that creates a concentrated stream of exhale of these fine particulates that do not respond predictably to gravity, remain aloft for hours (even days, as explained thoroughly by Senior Industrial Hygienist Stephen Petty here:

This exacerbates the spread of airborne pathogen.

creating both pressurized plumes and forced filtration of larger droplet, taking what would fall in a predictable 6 foot arc and sending it into an 18-20 foot trajectory, where it remains aloft, officially killing the 6 feet over or 6 feet under rhetoric. 12/

Senior Industrial Hygienist Kristen Meghan Kelly and OSHA integration expert Tammy Clark’s stellar and concrete takedown of OSHA-noncompliant apparatuses being required with near-impossible public exemption requirements met in reality, and how medical consent 14/
and medical clearance fit into workplace respirator and PPE requirement guidelines and implementation. Their joint testimony aided in the success in passing the North Dakota House Bill 1323, which is aimed at the prevention of future masking requirements. https://twitter.com/rmconservative/status/1378028437659615232
In summary, workplace respirator use requires medical consent and medical clearance. No students in Florida schools received medical clearance before being required to wear deoxygenating, hypercapnia-inducing apparatuses that are largely unregulated, and without efficacy

No employees forced to wear non-mitigating and expressly non-PPE apparatuses (or be faced with termination) are met with medical consent, clearance, and fit standards for workplace requirement of PPE for known pathogen under OSHA/NIOSH

Masks come with grave microbial inhalation issues (as most are wearing them in nonsterile public restrooms, dropping them, putting them on tables, back on their faces, sneeze in them, and breathe this for 8-12 hours per day hours) 18/
Medical consent belongs in all conversations involving non-standard public integration requirements.
Not only are exemptions being denied rampantly in the public sector without freecourse (that’s recourse without it costing you, and yes I made that word up), 19/

but truly immunocompromised citizens are compliant with these masking orders and it is putting the lives of our truly vulnerable in undue risk when there are far better options for tiered integration of special populations within our schools and public sector. 20/
