CoronaVirus
Even if positive for flu there could be undetected SARSCoV2 as coinfection. Many/most cases of flu are asymptomatic. We weren’t testing in a way that would have identified SARS2 (ex. cluster outbreaks of #atypical_pneumonia in 2019 weren’t even tested for re/emerging pathogens)

For your consideration, maybe we need to rethink initial assumptions about immune system naivete, & therefore risk of repeat infections. We could really use some feedback on this concern. https://t.co/phz9sFZBjJ

Deer, March 2022.
Between October and December of last year, researchers swabbed the noses of 93 dead deer from across Pennsylvania. Nearly a fifth of the animals tested positive for COVID.
Here is what the study means for humans. https://t.co/bWPFHmi1hn

Groundbreaking new research shows a far-UVC (ultraviolet light) air purification system can reduce levels of an airborne pathogen by 98% within minutes.
This is equivalent to an incredible 184 air changes per hour - better than even HEPA air cleaners.https://t.co/cmkrLEyw1u pic.twitter.com/WOGBoqNyJH

After letting the bacteria fill the room for 60 minutes, the researchers then turned the far-UVC on (using 1 lamp or 5 lamps) at either low, medium, or high power.
Here are the results for 5 lamps:
Low power: 29% reduction
Medium power: 92% reduction
High power: 98% reduction pic.twitter.com/pqpFGMGXd0— Dr Zoë Hyde (@DrZoeHyde) March 27, 2022
Importantly, far-UVC technology is future-proof. Because of the way it kills microbes, viruses can’t develop resistance to it.
It can also be expected to work against all future variants of SARS-CoV-2.
Here’s an article describing the study.https://t.co/SKJ7VxC48u

They aren’t fixable yet, L. It could be Twitter and it could be us, even though nothing has changed our end. But, if it is a problem our end it could be that the forum is about to be updated. If it’s a Twitter issue, hope it’s not a permanent. 🤞
