A Study of 40 COVID and flu outbreaks on planes found infection risk was highest near infected passengers.

• N95 masks prevented almost all new infections

• Surgical masks filtering 50% of particles cut infections by 85%, versus 35% from doubling clean air

• Ventilation alone may not be enough
Screenshot of an ACS Publications research article published September 22, 2026, titled “Influenza A (H1N1) and SARS-CoV-2 Transmission in Airplanes: Quanta Profiles and Infection Control.” - Journal: Environmental Science & Technology. - Authors: Ao Li, Hui-Ling Yen, Nancy H. L. Leung, Julian W. Tang and Yuguo Li. - Top left: Graph comparing airborne infectious particle emissions from influenza and SARS-CoV-2, highlighting super-spreaders. - Top right: Illustrations comparing close-contact exposure times at different distances and orientations. - Bottom left: Mask-wearing with 50% filtration efficiency reduces secondary infections by 85%. - Bottom right: Doubling clean-air ventilation reduces secondary infections by 35%. - Main finding: Mask-wearing provides substantially greater protection than doubling ventilation in the illustrated comparison.

One of the most famous railway bridges in the Netherlands. Connecting north and south. The only things on this bridge are trains and bikes.

#Railway #PublicTransportation
A landscape format colour photo of a modern one arch railway bridge. The horizon is exactly halfway and the sun is setting on the right. The photo is taken from the left so the bridge is more of a silhouette against the very calm water. The pylons are V shaped, but due to the reflections they seem X shaped. The first part of the bridge, on the right is just flat and at about two thirds the arch starts. The bridge goes from the right side to the left, disappearing in the distance. As is common in the Netherlands, the horizon is just flat. The image has a serene feel to it. Golden hour is beautiful.
