Today’s aerosol transmission open letter made some much needed waves. A frequent question journalists have had for the team is “If PHAC acknowledged aerosol transmission in November, so why hasn’t

Sensitivity of a PCR from a swab sample is a funny conceptPCR itself is extremely sensitive, now it should be very specific as wellBut provided that the swab captures RNA

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

Thus I'd rather emphasize the additive nature of risk reduction. For aerosols, droplets, or fomites, people should implement as many of the following measures as possible:-Physical distance-Avoid crowds-Avoid indoors/enclosed spaces-Mas

A short data thread that supports aerosols being key drivers of respiratory inf. disease transmission (vs. droplets). 1) Duguid (1946) showing that 96%, 99% and 94% of particles emitted while

1/ I agree with @Don_Milton. It is important to distinguish between near- and far-field aerosol particles. In the near field (close contact) there is potential for much higher concentration of

About that damned nebuliser:National guidelines don’t even regard nebulisation as an aerosol generating procedure. In fact linked documents say the reason to avoid it is that it encourages coughing. 1/3

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

Something has really been bothering me a lot and it's the notion that there is a scientific debate about whether aerosol transmission of #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 #coronavirus occurs. I don't think

I’ve noticed a trend - in aerosol, masking, treatment discussions- and am making a suggestion. We can disagree about evidence - that’s expected, and healthy, and we learn from it.But
