THE DARK KNIGHT was released 18 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great superhero movies and the film that cemented Christopher Nolan as the event moviemaker of his generation, the making of story will either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain… 1/46

It's a paper from last year, but it still pains me to think that we could have achieved elimination without resorting to lockdown, simply by implementing universal respirator usage alone. Not masks, respirators. It's still not too late.
Aerosol leak (left) from a mask is substantial, whereas with an N95 respirator (right), there is complete block of aerosol escape. That means zero transmission.

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer: "Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.

I just bumbled into the name of a genre called “Hopepunk” when looking up one of my favorte authors, Becky Chambers … and in addition to they learned she has published more books than I realized. YAY! (“The long way to a small angry planet” is very good)
Hopepunk

Hopepunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, conceived of as the opposite of grimdark. Works in the hopepunk subgenre are about characters fighting for positive change, radical kindness, and communal responses to challenges.

The Sick Times.” A masked emoji. “No pandemic denial, no minimizing, no gaslighting. The Sick Times.” Text reads: Everyone who donates during this campaign will receive stickers and a thank-you note from our team in the mail.
"A sneak peek at upcoming projects at The Sick Times. Deep-dives into BC 007 and other clinical trials. Continued in-depth coverage of the NIH RECOVER program. Feature stories about myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and other infection-associated chronic diseases. Collaborations with more local news outlets. Expanding to more social media platforms. Special episodes of our podcast and other audio projects. More online events like last summer’s webinar with WastewaterSCAN.""The Sick Times: We understand that many people in our community aren’t able to donate. This is why we’ll never have a paywall — our stories will always be completely free to read. If you aren’t in a position to donate yourself, you can help us out by sharing our fundraiser, sharing our articles, and letting us know why you find our work valuable."

Sharing this conversation snippet 👇. Using CO2 to monitor IAQ is an important part of accounting for infection risk. Here's recent exchange w/ Al Haddrell (top #CO2 #IAQ researcher). #CovidIsAirborne #Risk #InfectionRisk #CovidIsntOver #CleanTheAir #CleanAir
Al Haddrell @ukhadds2h

Replying to @CaliforniaCodes

At CO2 of 500ppm, the virus naturally decays ~98% in 40 mins. Meaning, after an hour >99% is inactivated. If the CO2 is 500 as well, that means the space is well ventilated, so the virus carrying aerosol is also removed.

The combination dramatically lowers the risk.

Al Haddrell @ukhadds2h

Replying to @ukhadds and @CaliforniaCodes Because CO2 affects both the decay rate and physical removal of the aerosol, the relationship between CO2 and risk is non-linear.

Christophe Veltsos @DrInfoSec. 59m

Replying to @ukhadds and @CaliforniaCodes

Al, can you clarify what you mean when you say non-linear? Is the risk relationship (WRT CO2) exponential?

Asking as the first time I read the tweet, I kept going, then reread & realized, oh, wow, CO2 relates to risk via two important dimensions (ventilation & decay).

8Al Haddrell @ukhadds

Replying to @DrInfoSec and @CaliforniaCodes

Exactly!

1) CO2 correlates with aerosol production. Less so when people talk (latest paper).

2) CO2 concentration informs on ventilation/exhaled aerosol still in the space.

3) CO2 affects decay rate.

As CO2 goes up, multiple processes are affected (hence non-linear).
