      Six feet and 15 minutes became coronavirus gospel. The NFL had data that showed otherwise: The virus could be spread in under 15 minutes and from over six feet.https://on.wsj.com/3j3ZjDW

      Not me! Many, many, many desperate scientists around the world, and some here. They just couldn't move the bureaucracies and the hand-washing experts in committees. (I lived through this and it really was like that: they wouldn't listen).

          What would help in the future? Perhaps more influence for crucial translation layer (eg. You) between scientists and the media/government?

          There should be a reckoning for the field of public health after this crisis. It's the public health officials and experts who have time and again provide governments and the public with bad advice.

          Public health training in North America is entirely inadequate to prepare leaders for an existential pandemic threat. In fact, their training seems to be *counterproductive* and to attract those who are utterly (even epically) personally unsuited for this scenario.

          Yes. How much b/c China installed head of the #WHO, #Tedros was an aerosol denier? & masks for self-protection denier? & many blindly believed them? Tedros as Ethiopia's foreign min allowed China to build a free AU HQ which they bugged for 5 yearshttps://qz.com/africa/1192493/china-spied-on-african-union-headquarters-for-five-years/ …

          Yet China who installed #Tedros as WHO head, after 6-7 weeks of coverup & gaslighting once out of denial? Beat & arrested them for not wearing masks in Feb 2020 If PHO's & health min's ignored WHO & followed E Asia countries? How many less dead?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoFPz6GN9Gw …
