Can confirm. I have pneumonia.

weheheheeelllll im sorry but if that were the case, then why do we see pediatricians and general doctors on tv every day, talking about the strong influenza wave, and telling people to wash their hands??

Because some viruses and many bacteria are fomite transmitted

mkx.bsky.social•3 days ago

but aerogenic transmission - especially in the four diseases named in the OP - is way more dangerous and commonplace than smear infection.

Anal sex is a much more common route of HIV infection than vaginal, but I still wore a condom when having sex..

I’ve yet to see a good breakdown of these figures.

I saw this from 2011 that was interesting https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7c12b2ed915d210ade168a/dh_125332.pdf

Thank you for this video so those of us who understand it and are trying to stay safe can show it to those who can’t seem to grasp this very basic concept.

People see their breath in the cold, they see cigarette smoke, but ...

That those usually invisible little clouds 🌬️ can contain a serious health hazard does not seem to be common knowledge, unfortunately.

Why are we still saying "droplets" instead of "aerosols"? Didn't our experience with COVID convincingly show that aerosols are the real issue?

mkx.bsky.social•3 days ago

because droplets are still a thing too

dontputmarbles.bsky.social•3 days ago

Droplets do not stay in the air for very long and don't travel as far

mkx.bsky.social•3 days ago

yes i know. also, i didnt dispute this.

and yet, they are still a thing and another way of disease transmission.

dontputmarbles.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's been disappointing that the medical community hasn't updated guidance on any other respiratory disease in light of what we learned from COVID. It's almost certain that the flu, for example, is transmitted mostly by aerosols as well. The initial intransigence to accept aerosols seems to continue

mkx.bsky.social•3 days ago

just today, it was confirmed in the british covid inquiry that the latest data point to over 80% of covid viruses travel by aerosol and transmit that way.

mkx.bsky.social•3 days ago

in every country.

It’s impossible to understand how anyone can look at this and not be running for an N95 mask.
