The landscape is changing fast & there isnt enough space here to share all the content
As such I have created a website to collect it all and to make it interactive

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.
Two simple demos:
First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.
Me: what would you like for dinner tonight?
4yr old: pizza
Me: maybe - do you think daddy wants pizza?
4yr old: we should ask OK Google

"If an experienced clinician with a PhD is unable to adequately
find objects in their own stool, it seems clear that we should not be expecting parents to do so.
The authors feel that
national guidance could include this advice"
