'In an unexpected move, the CDC has chosen to return Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee’s (HICPAC) recommendation against the necessity of respirators in healthcare settings. This decision suggests that the CDC is not in lockstep with HICPAC’s failure to acknowledge that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne and transmits through aerosols.

'Discover why many experts, including the WHN infection prevention team, reject HICPAC’s recommendation. Read WHN’s letter to the CDC with specific responses to the questions CDC posed to HICPAC. This letter illustrates a science-based approach to masking in healthcare settings, and demonstrates how HICPAC and the CDC should be issuing guidance.

I'm sure I'm just begging for trouble here, but I would honestly like a real answer from someone to my good-faith question, instead of just angry avoidance:

Who are the "rich" in the slogan, "eat the rich", and can you explain in 100 words or less why, on a global scale, it isn't you?

Experiences of Canadians with long-term symptoms following COVID-19

This study uses data from the Canadian COVID-19 Antibody and Health Survey to describe the current COVID-19 landscape, including infection, reinfection, and acute and long-term symptoms. This study also examines how peoples’ experiences with the virus have evolved in the context of growing immunity, emerging variants, new treatments, and relaxation of public health measures.

EPA recommends precautions to reduce the potential airborne transmission of the virus, such as ventilation and air filtration as a part of a larger strategy that includes minimizing close contact, surface cleaning, handwashing, and other precautions.

Some of the world’s most groundbreaking research on long COVID-19 can trace its origins to a 14-year-old Lebanese boy and his Commodore 64.

In middle school, Ziyad Al-Aly taught himself coding on his C64, a popular home computer introduced in the early 1980s. In high school, he solved complex mathematical equations and analyzed data using statistical applications. One day, Al-Aly decided to convert his C64’s internal clock to appear on his screensaver as an analog clock. Six months later, his screensaver boasted a dial and hours-minutes-seconds hands.

The project earned him first place in a youth coding competition.

Most importantly, the C64 helped Al-Aly realize his love for solving problems.
