      Research shows that fluids spread when coughing/sneezing are a big transmitter of COVID-19. Each of us needs to do what we can to stop the spread. One easy thing we all can do, today, is wear homemade masks in public. My mask could help you, your mask could help me. #Masks4All pic.twitter.com/6JGNNMtdJD

      The mask misinformation has gotten so bad that many people don't realize this is a RESPIRATORY ILLNESS. The main method of transmission is EXHALATION/INHALATION. People are bleaching cardboard boxes and then going shopping/to work without masks. (screenshot, not blaming person).pic.twitter.com/uH5s06dpVR

      Another excellent article by a doctor on why we need to switch to masks for all, ASAP. Also sensible advice on managing the shortage while prioritizing medical workers. Slowing this epidemic with masks is how we will ultimately protect our medical workers! https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/927723 …pic.twitter.com/RbmqNyooGN

      Another European country is looking at switching to universal mask wearing. The evidence is clear. Still need to keep distancing and hand washing but it’s a potent tool in the arsenal.https://twitter.com/rover829/status/1244587811946106882 …

      🚨🚨‼️ Dr. Fauci on masks and asymptomatic spread: "There is some rationale we should use [masks] much more." YES. YES! They may shift! I'm begging everyone—especially editors—give them space to change guidance. Take your finger off the clickbait on this. https://twitter.com/tezuma75/status/1244599922441084929 …

      Another lengthy paper. Also I know that other doctors, virologists and epidemiologists are rushing with preprints and other compilations of evidence. The tough part will be switching messaging, but we have to do that.https://twitter.com/VirusWhisperer/status/1244479397958004741 …

      Finally! And I was accused of confusing #PubHealth messaging when I advocated that universal mask wearing WILL reduce #COVID19 spread. Here is a slide, with all documented refs, of how compliance rates of mask wearing affects the prevalence rate of influenza. #MaskDenialism https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1244460977615253504 … pic.twitter.com/4ph2cN6RD3

      I risked a lot to publish that mask oped weeks ago—against CDC and WHO guidance. Wished someone else would. Been called everything under the sun. But the scientific community is rallying around masks.💪But please, please, give the CDC/WHO space to shift.🙏https://twitter.com/JGLeBozec/status/1244602907854540801 …
