Wenn die Antifaschist*innen sich auf den Demos und dazwischen aber weiterhin der #CoVID-#Durchseuchung hingeben, müssen die Nazis auch nur warten 😕

Yale-Paper: Rechte Republikaner sterben öfter an Covid

Ein Arbeitspapier von Forschender der Yale University belegt: Republikaner sterben häufiger an Covid. Rechte Verschwörungsmythen haben einen großen Anteil daran.

Welcome.

Here's a peer reviewed journal article published at the end of last year reporting the study's findings (Thank you Prof Lupton for the extra details).

Increasing ventilation reduces SARS-CoV-2 airborne transmission in schools: A retrospective cohort study in Italy's Marche region

IntroductionWhile increasing the ventilation rate is an important measure to remove inhalable virus-laden respiratory particles and lower the risk of infection, direct validation in schools with population-based studies is far from definitive.MethodsWe investigated the strength of association between ventilation and SARS-CoV-2 transmission reported among the students of Italy's Marche region in more than 10,000 classrooms, of which 316 were equipped with mechanical ventilation. We used ordinary and logistic regression models to explore the relative risk associated with the exposure of students in classrooms.Results and discussionFor classrooms equipped with mechanical ventilation systems, the relative risk of infection of students decreased at least by 74% compared with a classroom with only natural ventilation, reaching values of at least 80% for ventilation rates >10 L s−1 student−1. From the regression analysis we obtained a relative risk reduction in the range 12%15% for each additional unit of ventilation rate per person. The results also allowed to validate a recently developed predictive theoretical approach able to estimate the SARS-CoV-2 risk of infection of susceptible individuals via the airborne transmission route. We need mechanical ventilation systems to protect students in classrooms from airborne transmission; the protection is greater if ventilation rates higher than the rate needed to ensure indoor air quality (>10 L s−1 student−1) are adopted. The excell...

Italian study shows ventilation can cut school COVID cases by 82%

An Italian study published on Tuesday suggests that efficient ventilation systems can reduce the transmission of COVID-19 in schools by more than 80%.

Covid News: Landmark Clean Air Event in Canberra

Hopefully we will see some traction from this event going forward. Without working towards providing better indoor air quality we remain in danger in this pandemic and the next one.

Published 14 March 2023 Interesting conclusion

"The researchers of the current study explored different scenarios that reflected the potential emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants under several interventional approaches. Expedited variant-specific vaccine boosters had little impact, regardless of the transmissibility and severity of existing and future variants.

Notably, increasing mask usage was associated with substantial reductions in infections and mortality rates, whereas mandate reimposition mildly/moderately reduced future COVID-19 burden. Combining these two interventions led to an even more significant impact than individually. Above all, the analysis showed that simple interventions, including masking and social distancing mandates, could be critical tools against COVID-19."

@joeyfox Thanks for posting this.

Joey knows what he is talking about. If you are interested in CO2 monitoring and why it is useful in the covid context, this article is a great resource.

Intro to CO2 Monitoring - It’s Airborne

CO2, or carbon dioxide, is a gas that is found in the air. Measuring CO2 can help assess indoor air quality. The concentration of CO2 outdoors is typically around 420 parts per million (ppm) or…

It’s Airborne

@Susan60 @mel1 @auscovid19 It was recently discussed in the Parliamentary enquiry into Long Covid. A number of good things were said so it is at least on the radar and should make the findings I hope.
