1/ This is a good + fair question. I hope i give a good + fair answer… Why is BRK (buffett) a different ‘religion’ than TSLA (musk)? A thread🧵…

1/ SUPERSPREADING IS EXPLAINED BY SHARED-ROOM AIRBORNE TRANSMISSION We can use that to estimate risk of transmission for omicron & other diseases Our peer-reviewed paper was just published (open access) in Environmental Science & Technology Journals I'll explain it in this thread pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

I like this, but also the whole thread.

Rapid Ag Tests are critical to safely exit isolation early at 5 days Recently MANY ppl confused by CDC statement that tests stay POS for weeks - as reason not to test before exiting isolation. Please Note That is PCR! A Rapid Ag test turns Neg when No Longer infectious

1/🧵 What is #LongCOVID⁉️   A disabling malady from ongoing inflammation, autoimmunity, & potential viral reservoirs (GI, brain?)   NEW DATA: The Lungs “light up” on special MRI Scans 3 to 9 months later in patients never hospitalized for COVID.   bit.ly/344Oajp

Triple vaxxed, and not yet. Which doesn't surprise people until they learn that for 1.5 years full time, I've been working in health hotels/quarantine seeing people who have COVID, are close contacts or quarantining. This N95 masks + other airborne precaution stuff works.

Unbelievable. Japan with a 3rd shot vaxx rate barely above that of the Bahamas is on the verge of getting their Reff <1 and into exponential decline...just with universal masking/ventilation plus a reasonable double vaxx rate alone

If folk understood...they would DEMAND it. If they knew it was possible to control this, they'd want that right? They would seek businesses & organisations with public spaces who put air quality first. So it's important to keep messaging, keep discussing & keep challenging. 8/

I don't know why it took me so long to get to this, but this is the most comprehensive publication I have seen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Prof. Jose-Luis Jimenez Kimberly Prather, Ph.D. Linsey Marr https://www.threads.net/@linseycmarr science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #COVIDisAirborne

TIL ... the term "yak shaving" or "when I stopped feeling silly for not knowing how I would phrase a google search for some obscure issue and learned to accept typing in gibberish just see what would come up" catb.org/jargon/html/Y/… which I found via: dustinfreeman.org/blog/pdf-split…

Changing the air in a room multiple times an hour – using a window fan, higher quality MERV filters in HVAC systems, a portable HEPA filter machine, and even just opening a window – can reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Tune in now to learn more: whitehouse.gov/ostp/events-we…

Small 🧵 on working conditions and trends in the tech industry, as Bay Area tech companies force their employees to work from office buildings instead of continuing to choose to work from elsewhere. (I am NOT discussing my opinions or my employer in this thread. This isn’t news.)

I’ve been gratified hearing from many people who have said that they’ve followed my lead in deciding what they'll do, and not do, in various stages of the pandemic. It’s a particularly confusing time now, so today’s 🧵 is a summary of the choices I'm making these days. (1/25)

"The ASHRAE standard is called "Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality." The key word here is "acceptable." This is not a standard for "healthy" indoor air quality, nor is it a standard for "optimal" IAQ. It is a bare-minimum standard." 1/2
