Think of preventing the transmission of #AirborneViruses at schools as a bit like John Snow's removal of the handle from the Broad Street water pump in London, which ended a severe (waterborne) cholera outbreak.

So if we indeed have a strong El Niño this year, along with associated wildfires (as has been predicted) - what's the bet that 2026 will be the year that suddenly all the mitigations that should have been implemented to prevent #AirborneViruses will finally be trotted out,

Herewith a thread on how (& why) I successfully protected my family from #AirborneViruses, during several of their respective hospitalizations -

#NosocomialInfections of #AirborneViruses continue to be an unnecessary & preventable risk for hospitalized patients -
Guess what else is about to kick off in #Whitehorse on March 8?

Question for public health blue sky.. Would you attend a basketball game or concert or similar event with 10k or more in attendance in an indoor arena currently without wearing an N95?

☝️Know what helps with nurse-patient ratios?
Masking up with #N95s & cleaning the air to prevent #COVID #Reinfections, #LongCOVID, all #AirborneViruses, & #NosocomialInfections.

And imagine, if in the 7th year of an #OngoingPandemic, the @yukon.ca had actually taken steps to protect children from #AirborneViruses.
Just imagine that -

So they must have installed state of the art ventilation/filtration to #CleanTheAir, & protect government workers from injurious #AirborneViruses?
Including from #LongCOVID, which anyone is at risk of developing after enough #Reinfections.
No?
How easy would it have been to segue from a discussion of how/why we need to mitigate smoke-related hazards, to using the same approach to prevent the spread of injurious #AirborneViruses?
Climate change, pandemics, (& now fascism) are all related -

In 2025, the only non-pharmaceutical intervention that we still have for #AirborneViruses like #Flu & #COVID is ✋ hand sanitiser.
Despite the fact that both viruses can be injurious, & the latter can cause #LongCOVID, from which children are not immune, & there still is no cure.
Registrants will be sent a link on the day of the webinar.

Esta notícia em pareix realment important. No oblidem que, en l'època de la COVID-19, una de les grans preocupacions era la propagació del virus per l'aire. Enhorabona als investigadors!

Low‑Cost Real‑Time Biosensor Detects Airborne Viruses
A compact, reagent‑free biosensor from the Universitat Politècnica de València and Universitat de València detects airborne viruses instantly via electrical‑property changes. Read more: getnews.me/low-cost-real-time-biose... #biosensor #airborneviruses
Non-thermal #MicrowaveIrradiation has emerged as a promising approach for inactivating #AirborneViruses by exploiting their vibrational properties through selective resonant energy transfer. Read the review in the latest Journal of #Infection 👉 www.journalofinfecti...
We need #CleanAir indoors and out. For #pollution #microplastics #COVID #AirborneViruses
Pollution is causing 1 in 20 deaths in places like Luton. We need to cut back on airport extensions and put lives first.
Whatever happened to the tenet of “Do No Harm”? I lived by those words and I continue to live by that tenet, to the very best of my capability.
I have always felt very strongly that masking should be a requirement in all healthcare settings, & especially LTC. #IAQ #AirborneViruses #MasksSavesLives
Wildfire season is here again, serving as a reminder that indoor air quality matters not just when we see smoke outside, but year-round, with invisible threats like #Allergens, #IndoorPollutants & #AirborneViruses.

“We’re using machine learning to better predict how long viruses survive in different environments—and how best to disinfect them.”

If you are a parent/teacher and want to help improve Indoor Air Quality and protect children from #Airborneviruses why not have a science day or PTA event.
It’s easy to do and these boxes can be easily decorated 🧵
I’m getting questions about masks again, so here is this video. It’s a little bit old now, but mostly still relevant.

I’ve heard the clown talk rearing its ugly, stupid, ill-informed gaslighting head AGAIN. Let’s be clear: There is no such thing as immunity debt. Full stop.
#AirborneViruses #CleanTheAir
SARS2 infections are low (<900K/day), but most cases spread asymptomatically. If you're unmasked in public, you're gambling. One cough, two coughs—assume it's SARS2. Stay masked, assume even the "healthy" are sick. It’s the only way to truly avoid it. I’m convinced H5N1 is here too. #AirborneViruses
Did you know? High CO2 levels in your workspace can make you feel sluggish, impair your focus, and lower productivity. Let’s talk about why keeping CO2 and PM levels low is crucial for your brain and overall health. 🧠🌬️
