La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) ha emitido un informe que transforma la manera en que el mundo comprende infecciones respiratorias como covid-19, la gripe y el sarampión. Motivada por graves errores durante la pandemia, la OMS convocó a unos 50 expertos en virología, epidemiología, ciencia de aerosoles e ingeniería biológica, entre otras especialidades, que pasaron dos años revisando evidencia sobre cómo se propagan los virus y bacterias por el aire. El informe de la OMS no recomienda acciones a los gobiernos, hospitales o al público en general. Queda por ver si los Centros para el C...

The World Health Organization has issued a report that transforms how the world understands respiratory infections like covid-19, influenza, and measles. Motivated by grave missteps in the pandemic, the WHO convened about 50 experts in virology, epidemiology, aerosol science, and bioengineering, among other specialties, who spent two years poring through the evidence on how airborne viruses and bacteria spread.

By David Owens Health is a positive construct which exists along a spectrum. Almost all of us have the capacity to be healthier. Too often, narratives around health focus on metrics of disease.

Health is not the opposite of disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) definition of health is a state of physical, psychological and social well-being, not the absence of disease. I have always been a fan of this holistic, positive...

The first scientist to publish a sequence of the COVID-19 virus in China was staging a sit-in protest after authorities locked him out of his lab. Virologist Zhang Yongzhen wrote in an online post on Monday that he and his team were suddenly notified they were being evicted from their lab, the latest in a series of setbacks, demotions and ousters since he first published the sequence in early January 2020. The move shows how the Chinese government continues to pressure and control scientists, seeking to avoid scrutiny of its handling of the coronavirus outbreak. Zhang wrote the post on Chinese...
