Researchers asked volunteers with COVID-19 to breathe into a contraption known as the Gesundheit II Machine, developed by Milton and colleagues to measure viruses in exhaled breath. Participants breathed into the machine for 30 minutes at a time and also repeated the alphabet, sang “Happy Birthday” and even repeatedly shouted “Go Terps!”—first with masks on, and then without. “Data from our study suggests that a mildly symptomatic person with COVID-19 who is not wearing a mask exhales a little over two infectious doses per hour says first author Jianyu Lai, a postdoctoral researcher at the PHAB Lab. “But when wearing an N95 mask, the risk goes down exponentially.”

The origins of austerity and its relationship to capitalist ideology and practice extend far beyond the 2010s, or even the 1970s. Despite the recent emergence of an ‘Austerity 2.0’, it never went away. It has always been around in some form or another, from Tories to Labour, liberals to Keynesians.
