@newsfeed apparently the almighty economy is more important than human lives & quality of life. Even though #covidisnotover , politicians were quick to declare the pandemic OVER!? 😵‍💫

Making sense... of evidence, data, and the stories they tell

"Today, the Public Health Agency of Canada website on #COVID transmission mentions breathing in particles that can linger in the air, a euphemism for airborne transmission. The section on preventing infection includes improving ventilation in indoor spaces, again only useful to prevent airborne transmission (by decreasing the concentration of aerosols).

But in all cases the word 'airborne' is strangely missing."
