![[COVID zine page 1]
There are a lot of vested interests[1] in ignoring a simple truth:
[bold, handwritten] COVID is an AIRBORNE disease which is STILL a danger to EVERYONE. But there's so much we can do to prevent it!
If COVID spread by droplets and surfaces, then it could be prevented by handwashing—conveniently, an individual responsibility.
However, study since 2020 has made it clear:
[Bold, handwritten] Many diseases are airborne![2]
Including:
MERS
Measles
COVID
Chickenpox[3]
SARS-1
Common Cold
Flu
RSV
Tuberculosis
THIS IS A HUGE PARADIGM SHIFT.
Airborne transmission means that building owners need to provide clean indoor air, just like clean water.[4] They can't “wash their hands” of COVID.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twccexjsbh6y2tyhysjrhc2v/bafkreiahdhsuf5ttzofoo4clwijksyuke2vq4mgndrfs7ml4omcakcqttu)
