Ha! I criticized him a week or two ago for his downright dangerous advice to wear two masks at the same time.
Turns out he's a far-left activist whose been lying about his credentials, yet labeled as "expert" by Twitter, and appearing in ads for Biden.

@LukeDashjr @bitcoinkatia @giacomozucco @ketominer @mrcggl_ @TuurDemeester Yes, people at risk. But look up the risk per year of truck driving: trucks.com/2017/12/26/tru…
0.024% mortality per year worked.
Meanwhile, a COVID-19 infection in the 20-49 year range is 0.02% fatality. And that can be further stratified by risk factors like obesity.

@ketominer @giacomozucco @mrcggl_ @TuurDemeester Stockholm is a dense city, that all the way back in July was finding antibody evidence that ~20% of the population had been infected. Which is about the same as London's results... says something about the effectiveness of lockdown.

@_drgo @LukeDashjr @STEVEN_HALL_bTC @govkristinoem Also, interesting to see academics disagreeing on whether or not COVID-19 follows a dose-response model for disease severity: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Sounds like SARS-CoV-1 did *not*. If SARS-CoV-2 doesn't either, could explain why mask mandates haven't made a clear difference.

Tracking Changes in SARS-CoV-2 Spike: Evidence that D614G Increases Infectivity of the COVID-19 Virus - PubMed
A SARS-CoV-2 variant carrying the Spike protein amino acid change D614G has become the most prevalent form in the global pandemic. Dynamic tracking of variant frequencies revealed a recurrent pattern of G614 increase at multiple geographic levels:...

@_drgo @LukeDashjr @STEVEN_HALL_bTC @govkristinoem Note: there is evidence that COVID-19 has mutated to have higher upper respiratory tract viral loads, thus spreading more easily, without a corresponding increase in severity
