1/ A very important finding from the Bristol group: higher CO2 indoors makes the SARS-CoV-2 virus survive much longer in air

Makes ventilation more important, transmission goes approx. with its square, not just linearly

Loved our convo with Kimberly Prather, Ph.D. as well. A sensitive topic for many but one that we think was valuable to have.

Wishing you a great time in your ballgown this weekend, Professor P, as you receive an award in Chemical Sciences from the National Academy of Sciences!

For Canadians: imagine the federal government announced that, instead of working to provide safe drinking water to northern communities, it was going to eliminate safe drinking water in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. Because equity.

33/ There is also some ridiculing of new term 'puff cloud' by World Health Organization (WHO). I agree w/ Prasad that technically it is OK, was used by Lydia B. of MIT

[Also understandable it sounds silly to non-scientists that are tired of World Health Organization (WHO)'s inaction on protections!]
