Experts call for N95s over surgical masks as flu and COVID viruses spread.

“From an economic perspective alone, the WHN makes a compelling case for respirators as the standard of care for healthcare workers” —

Time to catch the latest #CovidTidbits from @drjudystone

Info on the rampant spread of respiratory viruses in the US and yet another failure of the regime:

"What distinguishes outbreaks in detention from those in the broader community is not just risk, but power. When the government imposes confinement, it assumes a heightened, nonnegotiable responsibility to prevent foreseeable harm."

Via @drjudystone another article in Forbes, this time stressing the need to replace the idea of surgical masks as sufficient against airborne viruses.

Respirators, N95 masks etc. are much more effective, and no one needs a clinical trial to prove it.

“It’s like no one has shown a benefit from parachutes or lead aprons. We don’t have to prove that parachutes are a good idea if you fall out of a plane.”

Please read @drjudystone newsletter today, much on covid, long covid and our current situation here in the US.

"We estimate 1 in 55 people in the U.S. are actively infectious... 1 in 4 chance of exposure in a room of 15 people. Risk varies considerably by state. We are approaching an average of 5 infections per person since pandemic onset."
