    I cannot recommend @DiseaseEcology threads enough. Even on the rare occasion we disagree, his comments are incredibly insightful This thread on schools and distancing is no differenthttps://twitter.com/DiseaseEcology/status/1371346026355851266 …

    Health Nerd added,

    Is 6' of space required to keep kids safe in schools, or is 3' enough? One of the most important questions for re-opening schools safely. Thread tl;dr New paper suggests 3' is enough, but paper is fraught with issues & is unconvincing, even though I really wanted it to be right.

        That's the first time I've realized he's a he. Doesn't make an iota of difference but it's weird. Must be the "Marm"...close to a maiden middle name format I guess. A great one to follow.

        Great thread. I wish the school issue were less driven by politics.

        He’s very good - a *great* follow - but this thread is odd. his “propaganda” claim in the thread seemed way too strong and unsupported. And in the end of the thread he basically comes to same conclusion as authors but based on different data.

        Replying to @WhitneyEpi @GidMK and

        It’s important to dissect studies & interrogate the reasoning processes that scientists use and he makes some good points, but accusing others scientists of engaging in “propaganda” is a strong attack that I think should be deployed strategically & with strong evidence
