Ridgewood NJ,  on Sunday, April 18, the Ridgewood Crew team participated in the second Manny Flick of 2021. The Manny Flicks are a series of preliminary rowing races offered before the official regatta season begins. To give the crews time to size up the competition, local teams came up with a series for the rowers at the “flicks” on Philadelphia’s famous Schuylkill racecourse. The “flicks” are named after Manuel A. Flick, a father who organized the first series in the 1950s. 

Fifty-six clubs participated in this invitational regatta hosted by the Philadelphia Scholastic Rowing Association. All teams were required to adhere to proper COVID-19 protocol to keep athletes, coaches, parents, the race administration, and the neighboring community safe. Spectators are prohibited from attending this year.

Ridgewood NJ, according to Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security ,scientific evidence increasingly supports the theory that the primary mode of SARS-CoV-2 transmission is through airborne infectious aerosols passed from person-to-person, according to some researchers. In three separate pieces published last week, experts outlined reasoning and evidence supporting SARS-CoV-2 transmission from both near-field and far-field aerosols. In a commentary published April 15 in The Lancet, researchers from the UK, US, and Canada present 10 reasons backing airborne transmission. In another piece published online in JAMA on April 16, experts from Harvard University and the University of Michigan describe the rationale for improving air circulation and filtration in indoor spaces to reduce far-field transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory infectious diseases. While noting that airborne viral particles are a significant route of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and calling for improved air ventilation in indoor spaces, experts from the UK, US, and China in an editorial published April 14 in The BMJ also underline the significance of mask quality and fit.
