If you or someone you know is being stalked, I'm so, so sorry.

I created this PSA a few years ago which lays out safety planning information and tips on being a good ally.

Fall is one of four lovely seasons.

The information that could have stopped the pandemic in 2020, that Dr. Morawska was desperately trying to teach WHO infection control leaders in 2020, was known for 👉84 years👈 before these events (documented in @carlzimmer.com's excellent book AIR-BORNE):

(figure: academic.oup.com/aje/article/...)
A page from Carl Zimmer's book AIR-BORNE: Kerkhove started the conversation off politely, but it quickly devolved. Some WHO representatives rejected Group 36's concerns out-right, dismissing their evidence as weak. Julian Tang, a British virologist with Group 36, pushed back, pointing out that WHO was claiming that fomites and large droplets spread SARS-CoV-2 while it had no rigorous proof of its own. Before long, Jimenez recalled, the temperature hit the boiling point. He watched John Conly scream at Morawska. "He kept yelling, 'But, Lidia, where is your evidence? Where is your evidence?" Jimenez recalled. "I was thinking, 'Jesus Christ, what is this?" The Group 36 scientists would later publish a collective account of the shocking experience. "After the call was finished, disappointed and frustrated, we wondered, Why are they acting like this?" they wrote. "Why are they so bluntly rejecting our arguments?" I later asked Conly about Group 36's account. He stressed that he was not directly involved in the conflict over WHO's guidelines. With over thirty advisors from around the world helping to develop the guide-lines, he wasn't that high on the WHO ladder. Conly thought that scien-tists like Li and Morawska did great work, but he saw many gaps in the evidence about how Covid-19 spread. They all deserved careful scientific inquiry. With so much complexity and uncertainty to contend with, dis-putes were inevitable. "The flattest pancake in the world has two sides," Conly told me. Reeling in frustration after the April 3 call, Group 36 conferred about what to do next. "We were like, 'Okay, we need to find more evidence," Jimenez said. They had to find an outbreak of Covid-19 that they could document, taking proper account of the role that air played in the infections. A plot from Wells' 1934 paper showing particles on the order of 100 microns or less will evaporate to airborne aerosol size before they have time to fall to the ground from head height. Associated text reads: residues or nuclei physically comparable with particles of fine dust may be of considerable hygienic importance. The size of droplet nuclei depends upon the amount of solid matter contained in the evaporating droplet. Because of the high percentage of water in body fluids, nuclei will be small in proportion to the size of the original droplet. Yet they will remain large in comparison to the mass of a bacterium. Normal saline droplets would reduce to salt nuclei roughly one-fifth of the former diameter, having a volume of some ten thousand bacteria. The nuclei of such droplets would settle slowly and be carried long distances by light air currents.
