Hydration reduces respiratory drop generation, may reduce #COVID19 risks on seacoasts — new data with colleagues at @NIH, @HarvardChanSPH, and @MassGeneralNews. bit.ly/3DvetvM

.@CDCgov has updated their brief informing the public of what we’ve been advocating since our first publication last summer… citing our research. The government is officially recognizing that SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted by exposure to infectious respiratory fluids.

Exhaled respiratory droplets vary strongly between individuals. Our recent work suggests factors include lung infection, age, and BMI. Here is a recent article I wrote in Molecular Frontiers that covers this research: worldscientific.com/pressroom/2020… @ShellyMBoulder @oltmannd @linseymarr

Excited to be doing a study in Grand Rapids on the campus of Grand Rapids Community College next week. Here Dr. Pink, president of GRCC, and I discuss the need for new hygiene innovations in the education and workplace. vimeo.com/477415236 #hellofend #Hygiene #sensorycloud

2/2 This paper shows that ventilation efficiency depends on partition location, where supply air and exhaust vents are located, and where is the source of contamination sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

1/2 We do not recommend acrylic room dividers for reducing risk of airborne transmission. At best it does NOTHING, at worse it changes the airflow patterns in the room and can cause pooling of air, hotspots, and reduced ventilation effectiveness.

Our research in human & nonhuman subjects, with & without COVID19, found that the number of #aerosols exhaled increased dramatically w/ COVID-19 infection, aging & high BMI: 1-3 orders of magnitude higher compared to healthy subjects. #COVID19 #bioaerosols medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

The number of #aerosols people exhale varies greatly-some as low as 5 particles per milliliters of air and others as high as 10,000/ml. These numbers can fluctuate throughout the day. Age & those w/high BMI expel higher levels of aerosols. #bioaerosols #COVID-19 #Flu #ventilation

Very informative segment about #bioaerosols. Better understanding about the risks of airborne transmission should encourage preventative action, especially the implementation of effective ventilation protocols for indoor gatherings.

Let's be clear. The US is nowhere close to herd immunity. Pursuing herd immunity without a vaccine would mean as many as 1 million more dead Americans.
