Recording available for the National Academies Airborne Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Virtual Workshop. There is TONS of information and great discussion in this workshop - check it out. Workshop Description: There is much we don’t know about the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. We know it can spread from an infected person’s sneeze or cough. But what do we know about transmission via speech and exhaled breath? How long do infectious particles linger ...in the air? How far can they travel? This workshop will delve into the rapidly evolving science on the transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19, as part of a larger body of COVID-19 related work from the National Academies. We will feature experts in aerosol science, virology, infectious disease, and epidemiology. https://www.nationalacademies.org//airborne-transmission-o

Fantastic to see Dr. Fauci committed to understanding the role of #aerosols in SARS-CoV-2 transmission. A solid understanding is the first step in taking action to protect our communities! See the 35 minute mark of video. #publichhealth #scicomm #COVID19

Want things to go back to the way they were? Wear a mask. It's that simple. Grateful to Professor Kim Prather at Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the ...Environment for explaining it all here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU8Hf_5-oLc #covid19 #opensafely #wearamask #stayhome #sketchnotes See more

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!

"Broad adoption of cloth face coverings is a civic duty, a small sacrifice reliant on a highly effective low-tech solution that can help turn the tide favorably in national and global efforts against #COVID19." #Masks #publichealth #universalmasking https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2768532
