In dark green, the provinces with an overall population attack rate between 150% and 200% during the 5 waves which surged in Iran. Kurdistan : 155 % North Khorasan : 157 % Qazvin : 163 % So each person living in these provinces has caught it > 1,5 times in 21 months.

This is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. 🙏🏼I want to be grateful to my parents for still masking despite never seeing other maskers in shops in their small town. 🙏🏼I want to be grateful for the friendships I have developed through my advocacy - that includes you tweeps.

"It’s not like it’s always going to be getting milder, and if we take away all the precautions and we let COVID have as many hosts as it wants, it can become more severe again. And we’re getting rid of testing, we’re getting rid of tracking. I’m not very happy about it."

Some airborne transmission events we know about: - Two health care workers were infected in Nigeria with no direct contact with infected patients. - Isolated prisoners in Nigeria were infected nonetheless

@DavidJuncker It just shows that affordable solutions are a plenty. Organizations lack the will to educate and say that Covid is airborne and that fit of the mask is important. Denial is not a strategy.

@MartinMichaud5 It's a meta-analysis where 55 articles were included, 20 of them already being meta-analyses, so their results are certainly validated by others. They come from them. It is published in the prestigious review Nature and it has not been retracted.
