@TrafficWise Does that mean it’s been closed for three hours or it WILL be closed for another three hours?

More evidence for relationship between PM2.5 exposure and COVID-19 incidence. Looks like they adjusted for population density and other covariates. Expected COVID-19 cases double with a 20% increase in PM2.5. /1

Very important results confirm what I have suspected: SARS-CoV-2 survives very well in aerosols. No measurable decay over 12+ hours. Careful work by good team.

THIS! Just because the virus has not detected in the air does not mean it’s not a mode of transmission- it means we haven’t done the experiment! Do the experiment!!!

This 3-D Simulation Shows Why Social Distancing Is So Important https://t.co/eoBizbDFpd This is a lovely visualization of how droplets from a cough spread.

I don't think people get this yet. This virus is with us for a while, and it's not going to magically go away in the next month or year.

This new paper in Science saying "prolonged or intermittent social distancing may be necessary into 2022."

I really like this website evaluating transmission trends in every state. The goal is for the line to drop below 1. We've made progress but aren't there yet. 1/

In South Korea 🇰🇷, the solar panels in the middle of the highway have a bicycle path underneath - cyclists are protected from the sun, isolated from traffic, and the country can produce clean energy. https://t.co/HTwHaC2FRf

The debate and confusion about masks for #COVID19 just got some real and important data from a rigorous randomized trial in patients with coronavirus (and influenza). They work.

For anyone & everyone in #Miami. Please share from a critical care nurse at Jackson Memorial Hospital & help if you can.
“We need N95 masks, face shields, isolation gowns, bleach, germicidal wipes.”

Another case study suggesting spread by virus in aerosols. Those at ABC, in the back and forth flow of aircon got infected, those at EF did not.

[Linsey Marr linseymarr.bsky.social @linseymarr]

Needed some time to digest new paper on masks and coronavirus (seasonal ones, not SARS-CoV-2), flu, rhinovirus. Main points: 1) 4/10 patients shed coronavirus directly into aerosols (<5 microns) 2) 3/10 shed virus into larger ones (>5 microns) ...

Detection of Air and Surface Contamination by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Hospital Rooms of Infected Patients https://t.co/1rCFNKvusY found ~1000 copies of viral RNA/m3 of air in fine particles/aerosols (<4 microns) in patient rooms

#AppreciationPost for the heroes on our Building Services team. These individuals are going above and beyond to serve @UF, and we couldn’t be more proud! Thank you for all that you do #WithEveryStep

[Rachel E Joyce @RachelEJoyce21]

Yes! Let’s get this going in Florida too @GovRonDeSantis. So many big research universities in this state with experienced scientists who want to help!

The CDC now says it's reviewing its policy about whether Americans should wear face masks in public — and may be considering a recommendation to encourage broader use.
