😷 Masks: Our invisible shield against COVID-19! 🦠 Studies show they significantly slow virus spread. N95s lead the pack, but all masks help when worn right. Protect yourself & others - mask up in crowded spaces! It's a small act with big impact.

N95s and other respirators filter viruses via electrostatic forces
They aren’t sieves and they do
stop virus.
Some idiots on this app will have you believe that these masks do not stop 50 nm Covid particles

Updated COVID-19 Vaccines for Use in the United States Beginning in Fall 2024
This green lights Pfizer and Moderna to use KP.2 while allowing Novavax to keep with JN.1
I'll respectfully disagree with my friend
@EricTopol
CDC does not have a "no isolation" guideline
Its guideline is to isolate until symptoms are clearly improving
In the paper Eric cites, there is another useful graph
It shows that as symptoms abate, so does infectious virus

For one, the one by the Sato group. Serum from JN.1 patients yielded a small response to KP.3.1.1. Don’t get me wrong, I’m full on Novavax given its lower side-effects but that single slide presented during the financial meeting needs to be confirmed
@BarryHunt008
Thank goodness the SA person was correct. Covid has morphed into a benign disease. For example, only ~30,000 Americans died in September and October. AND those deaths were very mild.
So Xshitter has a new policy. If you reply to someone and talk about (that virus) or the on-going pandemic, it will be labeled as ‘Possible Spam’
But rampant anti-science lies are ok

It’s been done and parachutes did not seem to help. Then again the parachute jumped off a stationary plane. The RCT zealots don’t understand that not only is the RCT important but also the way you ask the question
@SolidEvidence
Great update, as usual! Fall vaccines are on their way and so does this data from Novavax make any sense to you? Seems too good to be true
A tale of two cities: New Zealand sought to contain the virus while Sweden let it rip. Herd immunity remains an elusive myth and is not worth much in slowing fatalities

Do you know the aAmerican Dental Association has deemed it ok to not wear masks in their dental offices when in “common areas”. That’s the waiting rooms, bathrooms, check in areas. Because we all know that Covid only spreads in the exam room and not the common areas (sarcasm).

Huge irony here:
The woman believes in being cautious and is wearing an N95
The book is a hot mess about the intrepid physician fighting against the evil non-vaxxors and non-maskers
Yet, he’s signing, indoors, unmasked and taking unmasked selfies with other “Covid experts” 🙄
