For example, we had SARS spread in clinical setting due to insufficient attention to PPE doffing safety. So, yeah, if you are around an enormously high virus load all day, with sick people coughing on you etc. and you touch the outside of your mask, oops. It really is a hazard.

Yes! "We found virus bits in a PCR machine" is not the same as viable virus that can infect you—let alone a high viral load. In general, stainless steel-type high-touch surfaces are most dangerous, porous (cardboard, paper) is least. Wipe, don't panic.https://twitter.com/Charliewking/status/1247180858366349312 …

Folks, see for correct terminology. Sorry. The meaning of tweets are correct, but apologies for typing too fast. (People with a higher viral load are likely spewing out higher viral doses—so you get the point. But also stage/load/dose stuff isn't linear.)https://twitter.com/ghoshuvo/status/1247207401847238658 …

Yes, this is *exactly* why many well-meaning medical workers are not good at giving people advice on how to wear your mask or glove as an ordinary person who is not in a lab or a hospital or doing intubations etc. They're trained for something else.https://twitter.com/PersistentSeekr/status/1247245432868057088 …

It’s not true that Japan did nothing except wear masks. They closed schools, for example. (I don’t remember what else off the top of my head.) Masks aren’t a replacement for social distancing, they are a redundant layer of protection.

Japan may have done something more significant to reduce their COVID-19 toll, without even realising it: https://www.euronews.com/2020/04/06/has-the-key-to-a-coronoavirus-vaccine-been-staring-us-in-the-face-for-a-century …
