So it sounds like if indoors with other people it could be at least a bit helpful against short range transmission to turn heat down or A/C cooler to increase the time that warm respiratory plume remains higher. Hope you’ll correct this if I drew wrong conclusion!

Whenever you hear of a new measles case, contact tracers invariably list the following as exposure sites:

Airports/airplanes
ERs and walk in clinics
Shopping malls and pharmacies.

Getting vaccinated is the best prevention for measles, but wearing a respirator in high risk places helps too!

Researchers overlooked airborne diseases for centuries — then COVID-19 changed everything A fascinating exploration of microbes that can travel through the air reveals how the pandemic marked a turning point for a crucial research field.

I reviewed @carlzimmer.com's new book Airborne.

"His book is an enthralling historical exploration of the role of airborne microorganisms in disease, and examines why these pathogens have been overlooked for centuries."

Cats with H5N1. Maybe this will bring more attention to the issue. People care immensely about their pets.

On my list now. My late friend wrote this good one too:
The Men of Secession and Civil War, 1859-1861 (The American Crisis Series: Books on the Civil War Era) a.co/d/15e1iVH

Thanks, will try it!

Cool! Thinking about switching to a GF sourdough. King Arthur baking recipe for it unless you care to share the recipe that gave you such a great mother.

Here is the way to build your own filtration unit....takes about 20 minutes....costs about $70...run fan on low so it's quiet (still works well). There are now designs that use PC fans which are extremely quiet. CR boxes outperform HEPAs which cost 5-10x more.

Article link is really good for explaining risk

Covid Virus Remains In Skull For Years After Infection: Study SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the Covid-19 pandemic, remains in the skull and meninges for years after infection, leading to a long-lasting effect on the brain, according to a major German study.

Sounds like something to avoid. “The long-term neurological effects include ‘accelerated brain ageing, potentially leading to a loss of five to 10 years of healthy brain function in affected individuals.’”

A lot of people don't realize that many patients with #LongCovid are now often being treated in Brain Injury Clinics, together with patients recovering from traumatic brain injury after a concussion. It's been hard to keep up with the literature, but here is a new one published yesterday #NeuroCovid

Glad to see you here

This seems worth understanding!

Nice to see you in this blue space, Dr. Jack!

It's ironic that those who argue lockdowns caused significant harm also seem to believe that isolating from society is the best solution for individuals wishing to avoid SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Here's a starter pack of people on here who I've found and who I know are excellent Science Communicators.

Still walking with you and listening, just by this other name now.

Can’t wait!

Welcome! Nice to see you here. Used my CR boxes today when a repair person came in the house.

Yes

Signed, thanks

Good to see you
