Helfen #Masken gegen respiratorische Viren? Ich poste hier die globale #Influenza Surveillance seit 2011. Die Lücke rechts ist 2020 & 2021, in dem Schutzmaßnahmen gegen Corona galten: Keine Influenza. Noch nie zuvor beobachtetes Phänomen. Leider kommt Influenza aber gerade zurück

The importance of the dose of #SARS_CoV2 particles for its pathogenicity has been neglected so far. Clinical observations of disease severity in super-spreading events support this view. #Masks may work by avoiding ingestion of high virus concentrations. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Some periodic thoughts on today's White House Summit on Indoor Air Quality...

Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH kicks off by drawing parallel with water. Important that policy solution for water was NOT to put everything on people to boil own water, but to have institutionalized and systemic change

Ein Glücksfall, dass Michael Hallek so maßgeblich an dieser wichtigen Stellungnahme beteiligt war. Ich hoffe, dass sie wirklich aufmerksam gelesen wird. Viele Kollegen werden bzgl. ME/CFS umdenken müssen, gerade was Reha-Maßnahmen angeht. Vielen Dank für die umfangreiche Arbeit!

Germany probably has one of the scientifically highest qualified ministers of health in the history in Prof. Karl Lauterbach. Here, he talks of what science shows us but most politicians and unfortunately many institutes of public health in the western world do not know, or disregard
