I’m excited to discuss our latest research on how ambient CO2 affects how long #SARSCoV2 remains infectious in air. We report that even subtle increases in CO2 affects both how long #COVIDisAirborne and transmission risk. Here’s a🧵going over the findings nature.com/articles/s4146…

1/ Are you struggling to keep track of all the #H5N1 developments in the US? Together w/ @jkbren & @MOUGK, we started an open-access timeline of key events related to the outbreak. As you can see, the situation is rapidly progressing, so we will keep updating.

This would be a tragedy in the midst of a widespread outbreak of high path avian flu in dairy cows. We’re flying blindly now as it is, it would be a total solar eclipse if @CDCDirector allows @CDCgov @CDCFlu to halt this reporting now. @WhiteHouse @SecBecerra please don’t let…

These missing data are very important to be able to look at a “pandemic clock” to know the time, if clock is ticking, & how fast. The risk of human exposure has increased significantly from info learned over past week (mind you, very little if any real data have come from USG…

1/ A very important finding from the Bristol group: higher CO2 indoors makes the SARS-CoV-2 virus survive much longer in air Makes ventilation more important, transmission goes approx. with its square, not just linearly

1. @USDA posted an FAQ today about the federal order restricting movement of dairy cattle infected with #H5N1 #birdflu. Interesting information therein. A 🧵 New to me: USDA says 8 poultry operations in 5 states have had poultry outbreaks with the virus detected in cows.

I've spoken to some of my patients who are farmers, they have received *zero* direction or guidance from the government on what to do if their herds or workers get sick. Preparation is key, and we simply can't afford to drop the ball, again.

this here is crock: "it would be problematic to use ‘airborne’ for all pathogens that spread through the air. “They think it’s too scary, too frightening, has too many connotations and it will cause panic, so they chose ‘through the air’,”" nature.com/articles/d4158…

There's a lot of dichotomous thinking about #COVID risk on #airplanes. Some believe it's completely safe, others completable dangerous. I minimize flight travel and wouldn't fly without a fit-tested high-quality mask (N95 or elastomeric respirator). Here's why. 🧵 1/16

10-12 air changes per hour (ACH) on a flight sounds good, even overkill, right? Actually, no. If the air has good mixing, the best case scenario is that each air change is still imperfectly efficient, cleaning out about 2/3 of the air each air change. Uh oh. 3/16

1-2 I'm currently in a role where I am doing some of the COVID data reporting from a hospital that winds up in the hopper of the data I have been using nationally. I had an email today that stunned me, so I did some digging.

USDA/CDC still heedless of what The Great Influenza author John Barry calls the *fundamental lesson* of the 1918 pandemic: "Those in authority must retain the public’s trust. The way to do that is to distort nothing, to put the best face on nothing, to try to manipulate no one."
