I'm very grateful for all who have spent time, energy, & mental tenacity to warn, to educate, to advocate, to "translate" the science of #AirbornePathogens & the importance of #IAQ & #CleanAir (+ #masks & #respirators). ✨

Also 🙏 for good PH comms, reliable data (lately?), & good data viz.

There's a lot of confusion surrounding how humidity affects the spread of Covid-19. Why is this? In my latest explainer video, I discuss what is known, and not known.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Far-UVC and Eye Safety: Findings from a 36-Month Study (Jan 2025)
uvmedico.com/news/far-uvc...

#FarUVC #222nm #IAQ #AirbornePathogens #CovidisAirborne
Conclusion: Far-UVC for Safer, Cleaner Environments The 36-month clinical study offers evidence that 222 nm Far-UVC is safe for prolonged use around humans. Participants showed no changes in visual acuity, corneal health, or long-term eye safety, even after years of exposure within regulated limits. This reinforces the role of Far-UVC as a reliable solution for continuous decontamination in real-world settings like hospitals, clinics, and other occupied spaces.

Even if you don’t wear a respirator regularly when shopping or working, please make these FIVE practices non-negotiable: 1. Public restrooms: Always wear a respirator, even if it’s empty. (Yes, even when stopping by during a dinner reservation—bring your mask!) 2. Public transportation & taxi services: Always wear a respirator. (Plan ahead and have one on hand wherever you go.) 3. Elevators: Always wear a respirator, even if you’re alone. Elevators are poorly ventilated spaces—you wouldn’t drink water someone else gargled, so why breathe their air? 4. Food markets and drugstores: Prioritize wearing a respirator in these high-traffic areas. 5. Healthcare settings! Sick people! Respiratory infections spread. Duh! If you get sick despite masking in these crucial situations but go maskless at restaurants, bars, concerts, or shared workspaces, maybe it’s not the mask’s fault. Maybe, just maybe, it’s your choices.

Remember THAT scene from Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman - "It's Airborne." ? SARS-COV-2 is airborne via HVAC. Just like TB is - but it is way more contagious. Still no panic, right? We know how to be safe. Motel 6, or AirBNB - no shared HVAC, is best. But HOW do we know? 🧵

The Data Card, “Family Holiday Dinner - Before”, shows how wise it is for everyone to mask while visiting inside. We looked at a group of 10 people, you’re one of them, gathering for a 3 hour visit. People are chatting, but it’s mostly a quiet group enjoying each other’s company. The scenario uses an average size dining room, 16 x 32. The airflow is well mixed among this and the other rooms and the outside doors are closed. What can you do? Followed by a partial screenshot of the image showing the technical setup (activity, people, time, etc).

The virus is transmitted by direct contact with infectious droplets or by airborne spread when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. Measles virus can remain infectious in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves an area."
