I disagree with this take. Part of the problem is that the issue is complex, and it's very difficult/impossible to distinguish different ways the disease spreads in close contact As with most of epi, it depends!https://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1294766426062979074 …

So I personally think this is more about physical scientists insisting that we all use very strict terminology, rather than the words that epi has been using for ages to describe these things

And for the record, I find the attitude of physical scientists here very frustrating. It's not just a simple debate over semantics, saying the virus is airborne changes pretty much everything about the response to COVID-19!

I disagree, people have enough common sense to understand tiny exhaled aerosol droplets can accumulate in a poorly ventilated room over a few hours. The Government successfully communicated to people that 2m distancing was vital in shops, now we know that was dangerously wrong.

Although I think it's shocking people weren't required to wear masks in enclosed spaces from the start of this epidemic. I chose to and bought masks in late Jan/early Feb for my family knowing Government would flunk their responsibility to protect our health.
