So when well-meaning medical workers explain their own mask donning/doffing procedures to you, the regular person wearing maybe a cloth-mask (good for you!) or even a surgical mask or that N95 you had leftover and you're sanitizing/re-using, they are aiming at the wrong target

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 …

Also I'm tired of people who won't wear a mask but smear copious amounts of sanitizer on their grocery packaging as soon as they bring it home. Ingesting sanitizer is not good for you, either.

A German university tested surfaces in a household in Heinsberg (our most affected region) and were unable to find a viable, infectious virus, despite finding virus rna.

Actually no - your first false step in the thread. Live
#COVID19 virus does survive for days on many surfaces
. The answer is to always wash hands after touching any public surfaces before touching your mucus membranes or any "clean" surfaces.pic.twitter.com/LEKjFnrMTz
