      Actually, @WHO’s IPC, workplace and school guidance documents all discuss ventilation considerations. These docs are available online at http://who.int . Ventilation is critical.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1305130861663260672 …

      CDC? WHO? We still don’t have ventilation integrated into our guidelines. People are being told to wash their hands, but not open their windows. It’s September 2020. https://twitter.com/adamhamdy/status/1304120806943928329 …

      Replying to @gabbystern @WHO

      Actually, here's WHO's advice to the public page. It starts with washing hands. Not a single word on opening windows, ventilation, indoors. *Not* *one* *word*. The biggest section on this page is on safe use of hand-sanitizers. Please update all these! https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public …

          Here's the WHO workplace guidance. It starts with, has many paragraphs on hand-washing. There is a single sentence on ventilation that I can find, and it's vague. https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/advice-for-workplace-clean-19-03-2020.pdf …

          WHO school guidelines. Again, a single sentence on ventilation, and it's vague. Almost a page on hand-washing and it's not vague at all. The world needs guidelines since, as you say, ventilation is critical. People are desperate for answers! Thank you!https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/considerations-for-school-related-public-health-measures-in-the-context-of-covid-19%20%EF%BB%BF …

          Well it looks like it all depends on who is on these panels. If it’s influenced by a hand hygeine expert who devoted a career on that — then that’s the one that gets emphasized. Depth is good. But these panels need broader expertise, including outside of medicine.

          Can we also maybe get a head of the WHO that doesn’t support dictatorships?

          So much bad information out there that stems from global and national authorities failure to be honest. My contract tracing class in Nebraska went out of its way to teach that opening windows was not an effective way to reduce virus in a house
