🌬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.

    Yup, and so tbh if this does turn out to be pandemic 2.0 then I honestly feel this is gonna collapse a lot of hospital systems beyond repair.
