I’m hoping that one positive consequence of the covid-19 pandemic may be an increase in traffic to the Virology Blog which may lead more scientists reading some of the posts on ME/CFS.

Vincent, a big thanks to you and your guests for doing this.

Man, you are just banging these things out. Kudos!

Started listening to your podcast a few months ago! Keep up the great work!

Easily the best podcast on this topic (and virology in general) and I have listened to MANY

1/And perhaps you explored this already... Masks: Other countries have the mentality of ‘pretend you are infectious and actively trying not to anyone else’ Thus, everyone wears a mask to stores/in public. This way, you capture a lot of droplets (even of the asymptomatic/mild)

2/The American mentality is more along the lines of “don’t get me sick”. (Need higher quality mask for that) I live in Chinatown in NYC, most everyone in the grocery here has a surgical mask on (boxes were given out to elderly in community in January).

3/ Surgical masks seem to work best during a pandemic w/asymptomatic/and mild ppl if everyone (or large %) wore (right, that options doesn’t exist here). Hopefully Americans will adopt the wear a mask when sick mentality in the future - especially in dense cities.

Strongly considering naming my next child Twiv

May God bless u man keeping us updated
