Long Covid Support Maria Van Kerkhove World Health Organization (WHO) Long Covid Kids / [email protected] Long COVID Physio Long Covid SOS @longcovidsos.bsky.social WHO/Europe Keir Starmer International Long Covid Awareness Why did MVK & colleagues reject the representations of Lydia Morwaska and the host of other real experts in bioaerosol science warning of airborne transmission back in the summer of 2020? Never in the field of human medicine has so much suffering been attributable to so few.

Dr Barry Jones Bc if they said it was airborne, gov’ts would have to act. Laws re clean air, provide respirators, more testing & tracing, protocols in hospitals, accountability. Droplet - ppl buy hand sanitizer, clean their pens, stand 6 ft apart, responsibly on the individual
