Faye McNeillDamn. "An unexamined assumption has led to erroneous policy conclusions about the risks of singing... and the benefits of increased levels of ventilation. Although never publicly identified, one individual bears the moral burden of knowing what health outcomes have been attributed to their actions. We call for these claims to be re-examined and for greater ethical responsibility in the assumption of a point source in outbreak investigations." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0033350622003237 #COVID19 #ventilation
It's been brought to my attention that the objectivity of at least one of the authors of this study is in question. So read the article with a critical lens. I still think this point made by the authors about the ethics of epi case studies is thought provoking.
Dr Grace Peng@vfmcneill The point about one person bearing the moral guilt unnecessarily was valid.
@gspeng yeah that's also my thought.
