«Die Fehleinschätzung der #WHO beruhte indes nicht auf einem Mangel an sachkundiger Information, im Gegenteil: Eine internationale Expertengruppe aus Bereichen der Medizin, der Physik und den Ingenieurwissenschaften hatte mehrmals an die WHO appelliert, sie möge ihre Annahmen bezüglich der Übertragung von #SARSCOV2 überprüfen.»

WHO-Fehler bei Covid: Aerosole unterschätzt. Eine Forscherin erzählt

Wie verbreitet sich das Coronavirus? Die WHO lag lange falsch. Angesehene Experten konnten sich bei der WHO zunächst kein Gehör verschaffen. Von dem verzweifelten Versuch berichtet die Aerosolforscherin und Physikerin Lida Morawska im Gespräch mit Nicola von Lutterotti.

Today, at a swing social:

Him: aren’t you exhausted from wearing a mask?
Me: yes (thinking: mostly b/c ppl make such dumb remarks about it)
Him: I think it’s part of your style. Do you wear it everywhere?
Me: er?
Him: like in bed? Do you wear it in bed? You should!
Me: 👁️👄👁️

I did ask if he was implying that I was probably quite ugly, but he said no.

The one that addresses COVID would be ASHRAE 241 IRMM

https://itsairborne.com had a series of articles about it

It’s Airborne

Want to know how to stop COVID and other airborne diseases? Interested in ventilation, filtration and UV to clean the air? This blog has it all.

Australian-designed, Australian-made Trident FFP3 masks hug my face tightly and they do leave marks. These marks fade. It's no longer Hug An Australian Day in Australia, but it is Hug An Australian Day where I live. #HugAnAustralianDay #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #SaltingTheVibes

Neat study, potential positives if heeded, if conclusions integrated into hospital infection control practices (ha ha)… :
“Conclusion

“During community epidemics, SARS-CoV-2 genetic material is detected in hospital air despite good ventilation. Enhanced protection with masks, vaccines, and portable air purifiers, especially in high-risk areas, may mitigate nosocomial transmission, including among staff. Air sampling can provide an early warning of an outbreak and help identify areas that need enhanced infection control.”

Eric's Risk AssessmentApr 25

Hospitals are dangerous places. Air purification would mitigate the risk. Too bad most infection control professionals have voted for job security over patient safety, as I recently experienced up close and personally.

This is by no means the first paper to make these points.

> Despite good air quality (mean CO2 614 ppm), 39% of air samples had SARS-CoV-2 RNA.

> Hot spots for risk in the emergency ward include the acute care and waiting area.

> In critical care, hot spots include the tearoom and corridors near infected rooms.

> The risk of nosocomial outbreaks may be mitigated through air purifiers and masks.

Vaccines are like seatbelts and airbags, masks are like responsible driving.

From @onelife_livedwell on IG: COVID floats in air the way a jellyfish floats in water. It’s airborne, which means the primary route of infection is inhalation of virus laden aerosol particles small enough that they can stay suspended for hours.

And here’s the part people miss: dose matters. The more virus you inhale, the higher your risk. Masks reduce that exposure, and when both people mask, protection compounds.

So no, it’s not that “masks don’t work.” It’s that not all masks, or how they’re used, work the same.

Yes, We Continue Wearing Masks—Here’s Why: Common Questions Answered - WHN

Picture a typical family gathering today. Most people have moved on from masking: kids run around freely, aunts and uncles chat over snacks, and only a couple of family members still choose to wear well-fitted masks. Soon, the questions start rolling in: “Isn’t the pandemic over?” “Aren’t you done with masks yet?” “But you’re not high-risk!” This Q&A provides evidence-based responses to these and other common objections, offering insight into why we still mask, filter the air, and open windows—knowledge we’ve gained and continue to put into practice.
