Dr Robert C Robbins MD, President of the University of Arizona talks about the Business Case for Pandemic Mitigation.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the podcast section of my website kojalamedical.com/covid19theanswers, you will see the diagram for the "360 degree Solution to Pandemic Control". This solution illustrates the risk reduction measures that we need to put in place, working collectively, to manage this pandemic, future pandemics and to live with the coronavirus safely.

Today we are looking at a real life scenario of how the 360 degree solution to pandemic control can really work! Following on from Professor David Harris in Episode 8 Part 2, President Robert C Robbins of the University of Arizona will talk about the mitigation methods they enacted to combat transmission of COVID-19 on the university campus and illustrate the medical, societal and business case for doing so.

Professor Kirk Atkinson talks about Far UVC and its ability to kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus and other pathogens.

Interview with Professor Jose Jimenez PhD about aerosol transmission of the coronavirus. We discuss the difference between an aerosol and a droplet. How the laws of Physics dictate how aerosols and droplets are propagated. How vocalisation increases transmission and the different numbers of aerosols produced by breathing, talking, shouting, singing. We touch on simple ways to protect yourself with then knowledge that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne. The sociology and politics around why the scientific evidence that shows that a coronavirus transmitted by aerosols is not widely accepted and acted upon.

Professor David Harris, Phd describes the Test, Trace, Treat Strategy that was implemented at the University of Arizona in the Fall of 2020.

Professor David Harris and his team at the University of Arizona in the USA have provided proof of concept of Dr Michael Mina’s research and advocacy of Rapid testing as a means of reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission of infection during the pandemic.

They have also shown how the 360 degree solution to pandemic control can work in a real life scenario by actively implementing most of the risk reduction methods, facilitating a path of living with COVID-19 safely whilst getting back to a form of normal life again.
