“Personal responsibility” is a fiction when it comes to this virus because—very simply—you don’t have personal air.

Over the past five years, two thousand more children have died from disease than expected (according to pre-pandemic mortality rates in children)

That equates to four hundred more children dying every year now than before the pandemic

Oops.
Researchers discovered a multi-regional antiviral response to SARS-CoV-2 in the brain, despite the absence of direct active infection.

Another critical discovery is the upregulation of neuroinflammation in glial cells.

Such a good satire post about Prasad.
Respectfully disagree. He has many interesting insights about clinical research, therapeutics, and policy that have taught me a lot. We don't agree on everything, but that's ok!

Happy to discuss further with you in that "off line" place called a conversation!

To save you a few months of gaslighting in early 2025 and a couple of years of bad science after that, assume
1. we have all had the bird flu
2. It is mild
3. Only the frail and those who didn't wash their hands will fall by the wayside
4. Vitamin C, D, positive thinking FTW

What I said Jan 2022...

So if we all agree that we will be living with respiratory viruses in the future & that they have an airborne transmission component, can we agree that it is essential to clean indoor air using filtration & ventilation for all schools/businesses so we can get our lives back?
