Great paper on Airborne Transmission Risk Assessment in a classroom, an office, a ward, an ICU. Findings: - FFP2 respirators cut the viral dose by a factor of 13. - An 8h exposure in a poorly ventilated office can equate to the risk of a 15 mn face-to-face. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Every time I hear peers use language like "During COVID", "post-COVID", "During the pandemic", "back during COVID" -- I want to interrupt and say: "..you mean, now?" Language matters.

Extremely well done. Should be mandatory reading. “Long COVID is an everyone problem because everyone has blood vessels, a gut microbiome, ACE-2 receptors, T cells, and a blood-brain barrier…it is devastating, and it is happening to people every day. And it can happen to you, after any infection.”

Honoured to be amongst such distinguished fellow researchers! May the recognition I receive also recognize the patients, caregivers, & care providers so deeply impacted by Long COVID. We’ll continue to highlight longhauler voices & raise awareness that LC can affect anyone in this ongoing pandemic.

DYK? Since July 2022, the lag between COVID-19 symptom onset and a positive PCR test is 4.5-6.5 days. You might test positive earlier than 5 days after symptom onset, but it can be up to one week. That's PCR--with RATs you're even less likely to test positive within the first 5 days of symptoms.

Covid is not a cold or the flu. Never was or will be. Though it might just cause you to die from another infection, like flu or RSV. But let’s be clear. Covid kills far more people. Always did and will continue to… until we install precautions that protect us from all airborne pathogens.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring. NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.

David Lynch passes away at 78 after a battle with emphysema. He had stated in 2024 that he could no longer leave his home due to the high risk of Covid. If more people would mask up, we wouldn’t have to isolate. “You do you” policies leave people like Lynch with no choice but to “just stay home”

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
