Interesting to look back now at the time when the first indoor CO2 limits were imposed by law. (in UK) In 1904 a ventilation standard of 1200 ppm CO2 was considered “much too lax” by the medical authorities (!) and they pleaded for a maximum of 900 ppm CO2 in working places. 1/3

Long-term, sustainable solutions to COVID: ➡️Develop nextgen/nasal vaccines that greatly reduce transmission ➡️Normalize masking & make respirators free ➡️Regulate indoor air quality ➡️Develop effective treatments for Long COVID ➡️Make healthcare free & guarantee paid sick leave

Something I don't want to get lost is that the field is much better now at studying, visualizing, and discussing complex populations than it has ever been, and there are many resources to help do this effectively. A few suggestions below:
I’ve always wanted to visualize my own IMPACT tracks on the UCSC Genome Browser, to get immediate insight into cell type specific activity for SNPs or genes. IMPACT 707 is now fully integrated with the Genome Browser. Big thanks to @soumya_boston for mentorship creating IMPACT!

Million of Americans continue to suffer from long COVID, and too often many have their symptoms dismissed or ignored. We cannot allow this crisis to continue.
Sick School Air is Unfair. Kids returned to classrooms alongside a whole new way to get sick. The solution to US K-12 absenteeism is not to blame families or send kids to school sick; we must #DemandCleanAir Visit iaqadvocates.org/demandcleanair for details.
The CDC wants to stop telling people to isolate for five days when they are sick with COVID. This is a reckless, anti-public health policy that contravenes science, increases disease spread, and puts everyone at greater risk. 🧵
New pediatric paper: ➡️20% of COVID cases in the United States are in children ➡️current pediatric long Covid prevalence estimates are 10% to 20%, ➡️Long Covid is estimated to affect up to 5.8 million children, representing a significant community impact #LongCovid
Something notable from this chart comparing U.S. COVID wastewater levels by year, is that we've never seen levels this high at this time of the year! (indicated by the black line representing current levels, crossing the blue line representing Omicron levels in 2022)
THREAD. I'm going to keep talking about this because it's important. The media calls enhancing brutal repression "strengthening law enforcement efforts." Here, the New York Times uses that euphemism to describe the torture of solitary confinement. But it's worse.
The average German worker took TWENTY sick days last year; a new report finds that this lost productivity sent Germany into a recession. Why are we still pretending zero COVID mitigation is good for the economy? thegauntlet.news/p/germany-ente…

As we see police in dozens of cities beating philosophy professors, tackling economics scholars, body slamming Fox camera people, and putting chains on 100s of students singing songs and enjoying seder, it's important to see that these are not a few bad apples.
Interesting to look back now at the time when the first indoor CO2 limits were imposed by law. (in UK) In 1904 a ventilation standard of 1200 ppm CO2 was considered “much too lax” by the medical authorities (!) and they pleaded for a maximum of 900 ppm CO2 in working places. 1/3
It has become popular to use CO2 monitors to estimate risk. This is based upon the idea that the CO2 informs about how well a space is ventilated. From our study, the results show that the levels of the CO2 will also inform about how long the virus remains infectious in the air.
One of the primary functions of police is to violently crush progressive social movements. It's one of the reasons expanding the size and power of police is always authoritarian and is never an answer to inequality. *It is a key part of preserving inequality, in all its forms.*

In early 2020, there was a sudden collective amnesia about airborne transmission of other coronaviruses among @WHO's IPC experts. We must uncover the causes of this mysterious "amnesia" so that it does not recur in the next pandemic.
And what does the fact that it is left to citizens to uncover and share such telling documents say about the current state of public health journalism? A good journalist should have brought this up at the beginning of 2020. Why didn't that happen?
