Saturday, April 08, 2023 - Patho-Gen says, "Germs spread."

Disease transmission varies within three (3) primary types of transmission: droplet, airborne (aerosol), and yes ... contact surfaces.

"Covid spreads significantly through contaminated hands and surfaces in households, a new study suggests, as researchers warned too much focus has been given to airborne transmission" (1.).

"Infections with respiratory viruses are principally transmitted through three modes: contact, droplet, and airborne.

* "Contact transmission is infection spread through direct contact with an infectious person (e.g., touching during a handshake) or with an article or surface that has become contaminated. The latter is sometimes referred to as 'fomite transmission.'

* "Droplet transmission is infection spread through exposure to virus-containing respiratory droplets (i.e., larger and smaller droplets and particles) exhaled by an infectious person. Transmission is most likely to occur when someone is close to the infectious person, generally within about 6 feet.

* "Airborne transmission is infection spread through exposure to those virus-containing respiratory droplets comprised of smaller droplets and particles that can remain suspended in the air over long distances (usually greater than 6 feet) and time (typically hours)" (2.).

"On Wednesday, 10 CEOs representing America’s largest airlines joined to send a letter to President Biden urging him to 'sunset federal transportation travel restrictions – including the international predeparture testing requirement and the federal mask mandate.'

"The letter was signed by the CEOs of Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Atlas Air, Delta Airlines, FedEx Express, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines Holdings, and UPS Airlines."

"Researchers behind the paper analyzed outbreaks and superspreader events and studied factors that hinder and aid the virus’ spread, to design a mathematical model that takes many factors into account before giving a percentage risk of infection."

Is it the movie theater? The gym? Researchers calculated the odds of infection for any place you might go.

"Between the lines: Proposition 3, which was approved 63% to 37%, bars governments from taking any action that 'prohibits or limits religious services.'

"The proposition is part of a much broader national COVID-19 debate that pits public health officials bent on stymieing the disease's spread against pastors who say they were protecting their practice of religion.

"Proposition 6, which was approved 88% to 12%, gives residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities the right to designate an 'essential caregiver' who could not, under most circumstances, be barred from in-person visits.

"The proposition comes after stories of elderly people enduring months of isolation as part of the fight against COVID-19.

"Early voting results suggested both amendments would pass."

"As more people gain immunity to the coronavirus, through either vaccination or infection, the virus has fewer opportunities to spread and mutate into variants that are better at infecting people. The pandemic’s demotion to the endemic level at which the virus circulates globally at manageable levels is likely around the corner, infectious disease experts say, but the delta variant is still ripping through states such as West Virginia and Kentucky, where immunogenicity is low.

"'Delta speeds up that approach to endemicity,' said Dr. Monica Gandhi, an expert in infectious diseases at the University of California, San Francisco. She pointed to California as an example of recently declining case rates due to a steady uptick in vaccinations over the summer as well as natural exposure of unvaccinated people to the virus."

Upticks in new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in central southeastern states such as West Virginia and Kentucky are considered signs that the pandemic is on its way out and shifting toward endemicity.

"Nearly one-third of the entire U.S. population had been infected with COVID by the end of 2020 — a much higher rate of infection than previously known, a startling new study has found.

"The study, which was conducted by researchers at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and published in the journal Nature on Thursday, reveals that 103 million Americans, or 31% of the population, had been infected by December 2020 — and that the rate of infection in New York City at the time was even higher at 44%.

"'The vast majority of infectious were not accounted for by the number of confirmed cases,' said Jeffrey Shaman, one of the report’s researchers and a professor of environmental health sciences at the Mailman School. 'It is these undocumented cases, which are often mild or asymptomatic infectious, that allow the virus to spread quickly through the broader population.'"

"'The Lone Star state continues to defeat COVID-19 through the use of widely-available vaccines, antibody therapeutic drugs, and safe practices utilized by Texans in our communities,' Abbott said in a press release. 'Texans, not government, should decide their best health practices, which is why masks will not be mandated by public school districts or government entities.'"
