Trump’s COVID Lies = Harm Done by His Election Lies / Florida’s High Rate of Covid Deaths — Gronda Morin

COVID-19 is Still a ‘Dangerous Global Health Threat’ | CIRES

To end the “persistent and dangerous global health threat” of COVID-19, the world must take a “vaccine-plus” approach, which includes improved indoor air ventilation and filtration, and increased masking, testing and treatment. That’s just one of 57 recommendations included in a new study published today in the journal Nature by 386 multidisciplinary experts from more than 100 countries and territories.

These include cross-disciplinary pandemic preparedness and response, addressing pandemic inequities, rebuilding public trust and combatting false information.

They were also almost unanimous in their consensus that indoor areas with poor ventilation present the highest risks of transmission.
