Interessant, és del meus temes "preferits", tenint en compte al q em dedico. Infecció laboratorial de #SARSCoV2. Ho té tot, exper. animal, mossegada animal infectat, treball amb diverses #variants, contaminació ambiental. Un must, i dona per discussió. taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/437285…
#SARSCoV2 Moltes lectures i lliçons en aquest article. Primera; els accidents, les infeccions laboratorials existeixen i un treballador pot potencialment treure el virus a exterior i infectar a la comunitat (per això mai es pot descartar #labaccident). Segona, els incidents...
s'han d'investigar; de fet, la persona infectada..."was bitten for a second time in November by a mouse infected with the Alpha strain". No era 1er accident i això no diu massa de la persona ni del centre. Tercer, els laboratoris que treballen amb #SARSCoV2 poden experimentar...
The fallacy of #fomites.
There has been a lot of attention devoted to the potential transmission of #COVID19 by fomites, a lot of money and time spent on "sanitizing" surfaces, and on marketing various chemicals, treatments, etc. 1/N

While generically, cleanliness is good, I am convinced that the vast amount of these efforts when targeted at #COVID19 are misguided and represent more #hygienetheatre than true prevention. 2/N
First, I have yet to see any reports of transmission that convincingly demonstrate a fomite route (as opposed to a couple of cases reports that allege this as a diagnosis of exclusison, while failing to consider more plausible routes such as aerosols). 3/N
Potser els virolegs ambientals (o jo) no hem explicat bé això de #coronavirus i temperatura. Són els virus sensibles a les temperatures d'estiu (i a la insolació i la radiació associada)? SÃ. Són els #coronavirus en general i #SARSCoV2 sensibles a temperatures de 30-37ºC o més?
Taxativament sÃ, no els hi poso els articles; al meu TL els poden trobar. Però, és un procés q necessita el seu TEMPS (hores, dies) i afecta bà sicament a superfÃcies i fomites i també als exsudats....però les #fomites MAI van ser un vector principal de transmissió de #SARSCoV2...
i els exsudats, les microgotes, no tenen massa temps per patir les condicions ambientals si...som a 30 cm del company/a a la terrassa del bar, o dins; o a una barbacoa, o ens toquem, abracem, i ens exhalem l'un a l'altre...aquà no hi ha temperatures q hi jugui cap paper pq no...
Why are cases increasing in #Texas #Florida #Mississippi and places like this? Well, there are many reasons here but I want to focus on something productive as a #RespiratoryTherapist so here goes: What both the people that #WearAMask and those who do not fail to realize is the
bigger danger. We wear a mask to protect ourselves from droplets hitting our face when people talk. #coronavirus is not an airborne virus in the traditional sense so we are not wearing it to stop #COVID19 itself so stop with the "these arent N95 masks!" BS. All we are trying to
#Thread on symptomatic, pre-symptomatic, asymptomatic #transmission. A symptomatic #COVID19 case is a patient who developed signs & symptoms compatible with #SARSCoV2 #coronavirus #infection. Symptomatic transmission refers to transmission from a person experiencing symptoms. 
Data from published epidemiology & virologic studies provide evidence that #COVID19 is PRIMARILY transmitted from symptomatic people to others in close contact through respiratory droplets, by direct contact with infected persons or by contact with contaminated objects & surfaces
This is supported by experiences shared by WHO technical partners & presentations by Ministries of Health. Data from studies that have collected repeated samples from patients show that #COVID19 shedding is highest in upper respiratory tract early in the course of the disease.
If we want to understand how powerful an opponent SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is, let’s take a look what has been required to stop it in China. The Chinese government has essentially used a social nuclear weapon in its efforts. Let’s talk about this, to understand what US is facing. 1/
The Chinese have had the most COVID19 cases so far (80,859), but the number of new cases has dropped from 100's per day a month ago to ~46 per day now — in a country of 1.4B people. This is an astonishing achievement from a public health point of view. who.int/docs/default-s… 2/
We can get a sense of how strong something is by getting a sense of what sort of force is required to stop it, to borrow a Newtonian physics metaphor. COVID-19 requires a powerful force to stop. This is clear from the Chinese response. 3/
With the #COVID19 outbreak, it is important to use language responsibly. Here is the first entry of our new #ContagiousWords series, defining the buzzwords and terminology dominating today's conversation. #Pandemic #PandemicsCost
@ilariacapua Language is powerful, so we must be sure and accurate in the ways we communicate science. #Epidemic #ContagiousWords #COVID19
