🌬AIRBORNE PRECAUTION—New @CDCgov update admits to “theoretical risk of airborne transmission” of #monkeypox virus, and thus ➡️“airborne precaution should be applied whenever possible”. Don’t take chances. Let’s learn from recent mistakes. Take precaution. https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/clinicians/infection-control-hospital.html

Edit

Sigh. I googled Feigl-Ding and I learned he is not a source to be trusted. I'm not going to share any more tweets by him. I had no idea how questionable he is...

Eric Feigl-Ding

Feigl-Ding has disclosed he is not sub-specialized in infectious diseases and claims to have never misrepresented himself as an infectious disease epidemiologist. [...] His tweets during the [covid] pandemic have also at times been criticized by other scientists as alarmist, misleading, or inaccurate.

Also - for what it's worth - he's a democratic politician. I wonder if his tweets are designed more for his "brand" than anything else.

    Should we start a contest to see who comes the closest to guessing whatever batshit miracle cure they come up with this time?

      What's the stupidest thing that has some medieval historical basis? I'm guessing some combination of bloodletting, cow shit, and... Concentrated piss.

      I would love to see a pool of some sort we can place bets on.
