The next question is "What fraction of airborne Ebola cases are being identified?" The answer is "whatever they happen to notice while looking for non-airborne transmission", because the IPC muppets who declared COVID couldn't possibly be airborne did the same with Ebola, so no one checks.
Mark Ungrin@mark-ungrin.bsky.social · last wk.🧵 For anyone wondering whether IPC and public health leaders are competent to manage Ebola, the answer is a categorical "no". Current WHO guidance, released May 17, 2026, is still based on the 5-micron error (p51 & 58), out of date since 1934. The quacks responsible should be in jail.

Why do I mask? Yes, it's because I have an immune system issue and need to avoid Covid. But the real reason is 6 years of empirical data. I don't get sick anymore! I used to be sick multiple times a year. Missed several once-in-a-lifetime events I still regret. Mask means not sick? Gimme mask.
Nome@nome.bsky.social · 5mo agoI work at the airport. I'm one of a dozen people i see mask regularly, out of hundreds. Those hundreds? They're complaining constantly about being sick. About making their family and friends sick. And they just accept that as a thing that'll happen. Like there's nothing to be done.

One more nail in the coffin of the "it's just deconditioning" hypothesis. 60 days of strict bed rest ≠ #LongCOVID or #MECFS. Rob's group shows that while exercise capacity may be similarly reduced, the underlying skeletal muscle biology is VERY different. Time to move beyond outdated assumptions.

Remembering 2020, at the beginning of COVID, pre-vaccine, after my kidney transplant when I would be asked to remove my N99 respirator and replace it with a surgical mask which meets no standards at all, not even for the things it is designed for (droplets)

They lied about and downplayed the long term effects of COVID like they did with climate change. Is that beginning to dawn on more people yet? I recommend protecting your health, especially given what this new world looks like. Sorry for the gloom/never sorry for sharing hard truths.
