Why won't leadership & scientists such as yourself wear respirator masks in public? Why must we beg for this? Until the world sees this in action, we are doomed.

thank you for thoughtful wording, incl the crucial recognition of what is nót known: "According to Marr, it is not clear whether the virus is present in this way or how long it might survive in respiratory particles. “I don't think we have any information about that,” she says.

I spoke about the potential for airborne transmission of hantavirus, and Josh Santarpia talked about the National Quarantine Unit. I visited it last year; it's a critical resource for the country. @virginia_tech @VTEngineering

The Andes type of the hantavirus is spread by “close contact,” but it’s unclear how much of that transmission occurs by inhaling airborne droplets or other means

VT has always embraced hands-on learning and the next platform shift. The first university to require PCs (1983), built the internet’s first community network in Blacksburg, embraced autonomous vehicles early. Excited to see that continue with the new @VTEngineering Dean! 🦃
