Understanding the uses and limitations of ventilation and air cleaning in COVID-19-risk mitigation

This a very positive piece confirming knowledge of aerosol transmission and early mitigation approaches, including ASHRAE standards ( new standards 6.1 & 6.2 available now )

Note the date:
BCCDC Jan 2021.

Why are we still ignoring this knowledge?

Standard Permanent Time
not in the wee hours of this Sunday but…

BC intends to sync with the US west coast states, but a US federal law reintroduced is getting a lot of pushback toward permanent Standard time for some very good reasons.
The last time the US and Russia tried to go to permanent Daylight savings time it failed and had to be revoked.

The Feb 19-25 Canadian COVID Forecast

@MoriartyLab

SEVERE: NB, NS
VERY HIGH: CAN, BC, MB, ON
HIGH: NL, PEI, QC, SK
ELEVATED: AB, North

A new surge/wave has started in multiple provinces.

From @CDCgov: About 1 in 5 adults have a health condition that might be related to their previous COVID-19 illness. The best way to protect from long-lasting COVID symptoms is not getting COVID, and/or not getting it again.

Good Night, Johnathan
@DGlaucomflecken

A children's story, well sort of…

What does Johnathan do? He does so many things. He does all the documentation so that doctors can just take care of patients and not burn out.

Only high-earning specialties can afford a Johnathan. Thereby burnout disproportionately affects primary care which are the types of doctors that we need the most.
