Compare the post & opinion piece below with the 2012 article linked (same author) where it was clear that bad air quality in schools was detrimental to health & performance, CO2 was a good proxy for IAQ & the standards were a compromise to save money. 🤔 researchgate.net/profile/Benjam…
I've written an article with @moog77 on how overstating the effects from over-ventilating risks misdirecting public funds and eroding trust in the industry when expected gains do not materialise.
For those interested in the airborne route of transmission of SARS-CoV-2, see the excellent Canadian Airborne Transmission Coalition. aerosoltransmissioncoalition.ca
Why do you think Public Health organisations lie about airborne transmission of pathogens?
NEW Study: Transmission of Respiratory Infectious Diseases Based on Real Close Contact Behavior in an Emergency Room "If HCWs wear N95 respirators and surgical masks throughout, the total infection risk can be reduced by 94.7% and 53.9%, respectively."
Odd that scientists are required to dress appropriately to work with SARS-CoV-2, but you’re happy for your kids to play in it like it’s nothing 🤦🏼♀️ #WearARespie
So, I am redoing my annual BSL-3 facility training, and this is how we have to dress to work with #SARSCoV2 in the Lab. I am investigating the same strain that is circulating everywhere, Omicron variants KP.2 and KP.3. What do you think? 🙇 #biohazardous #BSL3 #Covid
Florence Nightingale 1860: ‘Oh! The crowded national school! Where so many children’s epidemics have their origin. What a tale its air test would tell! We should have parents saying… I will not send my child to that school, the air test stands at “Horrid.” Nothing has changed.
Since there is talk about bringing back ASBESTOS (this is somehow true), I thought it would be useful to describe just some what happens to you when you breath this stuff into your lungs. In short, it’s terrible. A 🧵
New leadership at the British Medical Association (BMA) as of today. Congratulations to newly elected Chair, Dr @thomasdolphin. I just hope he prioritises pushing for action on IPC measures against airborne transmission in hospitals to better protect both patients & NHS staff.
Tonight, @thomasdolphin has been elected as the new BMA Chair of Council. We offer him our congratulations and a warm welcome to the role. Thank you to @DrPhilBanfield for his dedication to our members and the medical profession over the past three years. bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
This powerful statement by CVF lawyer is so moving - the impact on children, both in terms of their health (and, sadly, mortality) plus the very real threat of infection to clinically vulnerable family members at home is a 'must watch'. Our children are our future! Protect them!
The final preliminary hearing for the Children & Young People’s module was today, CVF, again, made the case for safety. Children's deaths *would* have been higher if many Clinically Vulnerable families had not kept their children away from schools. ⚠️Long thread 1/
