"@worstninjaever @jonathanstea This idea can be traced back to the last decades of 19th Cent when germ theory overthrew the previous consensus that miasmas (airborne disease) caused illnesses. This is why hand-washing was recommended early in the pandemic and masks were dismissed"

"@RajlabN 40-22/ We've every reason to believe there will be a winter wave in the US. Even if it stays at 14th place as a cause of death a winter wave will present a significant public health burden. We can reduce the chance of serious illness & lower transmission rates if we get boosted"
