    Is the virus that causes #COVID19 airborne? I spent the last week talking to experts who challenge public health officials’ black-and-white approach to talking about this:https://www.wired.com/story/they-say-coronavirus-isnt-airborne-but-its-definitely-borne-by-air/ …

        Thanks, Jen. I hope it helps answer some of the questions people have about this virus. The terminology can create confusion, I think.

        Home made mask materials have shown to be nearly as effective as surgical masks (86 vs 89%) in blocking passage of particles *five times smaller than covid* Even a double layered scarf provides nearly 50% protection. https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/best-materials-make-diy-face-mask-virus/ …

        Universal mask usage is impractical to enforce. Particularly because many are unable to use masks at all times. There’s a middle ground. Strategy. Put a mask on every essential worker with high public contact. This exponentially reduces exposure for the entire population

        Any of us can be a silent carrier. Masks keep germs in. You and I expose very few. ONE asymptomatic grocery clerk exposes an entire community. We say that hindsight is 20/20. Think of the headlines we prevent. We have opportunity here #ProtectTheHive #MasksForEssentialWorkers

        As DIY masks become more frequently used, there are much better materials than T-shirts and scarves.pic.twitter.com/9f155e3W9n
