💨🚧😷 Respiratory viruses are much more likely to spread indoors than outdoors, but outdoor super-spreading events can still occur if the conditions are right.

A new study describes a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak affecting 131 people at a night market. 🧵

⚡😷⚡ *If you just go to these primary studies, you realize NONE of them support the conclusion of the meta-analysis. Brutal.

If you adjust the math accordingly, you find that there's just 2 relevant studies (Bangladesh and Denmark), and both say: MASKS WORK* (28FEB2023)

Both Sides, Links in Opinion 🤗 "Reviewing a study on masks 😷 .... But let’s poke away!" 😉 (@CHendel)

"Here’s the study question — does using a medical mask while caring for a person with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 provide healthcare workers “noninferior” protection to an N95 mask?

🌍 WHY 💉 XBB.1.5 🇺🇸 Why the new COVID variant XBB.1.5 is taking over the U.S. so quickly: "XBB is a different ballgame," Dr. Rajendram Rajnarayanan .... With a recombinant, you get mutations that makes it more evasive. And as we expected, [XBB.1.5] changed one small mutation, a V changed to a P at the 486 position. And that's it."

*Looking at Walgreen's SGTF data, tests Dec 26-28, 25% of their PCR tests nationwide were non-SGTF (likely XBB) ...

*.....Walgreens uses a PCR test (TaqPath) that can differentiate some COVID variants by the level of S-gene detection, and reports the results daily on a dashboard. * (@Andy_Bloch@twitter.com)
non-SGTF variants include: Original COVID-19, Delta, BA.2, XBB.*,

🤬MILITANT MASK PSA 🤬: *@FitTestMyPlanet Dec 20 said "That valved mask was able to score in thousands on(unrealistic) static test, and with realistic use it scored >200 harmonic. The mask itself was not great but it wouldn’t have been possible to score that high on static if the valve was more than 1% of total leakage." 2/3* #covid19virustransmission 😷 #masks 🧬 #maskswork #maskup #bringmasksback #CovidisAirborne
