We need good PSAs

Thank you to Yale for publishing a wonderful handout with great graphics for the general public. This is one about asymptomatic infections that should be posted everywhere. pdflink.to/yale-covid-19-immun. Please share with friends, family, work, school, church and social circles.

49% of covid infections are asymptomatic. Graphics regarding mitigation measures include N95 respirators, HEPA air filtration, ventilation, up-to-date vaccination, rapid tests, wastewater surveillance. Courtesy of Yale school of public health

One thing I would have liked to add to this Yale graphic on asymptomatic infections is not only that "you may not know if you are actually sick," but also "you may not know who could get you sick." So many people have no idea from whom they got their SARS-CoV2 infection because it is often transmitted asymptomatically or presymptomatically. everyone! 2/2

49% of Covid infections are asymptomatic, which means you may not know if you are actually sick. This is why it's important to take a multilayered approach (one or more of the following) to protect yourselves and others: N95 and KN95 masks, HEPA air filtration, good ventilation (CO2 <800 parts per million), up-to-date vaccinations, rapid tests before gathering, attention to wastewater levels of COVID-19.

@huskify too bad that wastewater testing has been discontinued where I live. I think my govt is trying to kill us all.

@zleap Found an infographic from the WHO on mpox from Dec 2023. It is quite busy but comprehensive. Maybe others have found something better. cdn.who.int/media/images/defau

This is a very busy infographic on Mpox from the WHO titled What we know. It describes the disease, transmissibility factors, global spread, diagnostics, vaccines, the pathogen, public health measures and treatment.

@huskify I bought an ARANET CO2 monitor as a Christmas gift to myself. I've been monitoring my local air quality. Others in my area post CO2 concentrations less than 500ppm. My area has that rarely.

If 800ppm is bad, I'm less worried now.
