You didn't yell that the virus is in aerosols. Until you do, everything else is whispering, sorry

Then you need to hurry and remove measles and tuberculosis from the list of airborne diseases, because those pathogens have never been cultivated from room air. At this point
@WHO it is willfully ignorant to not account for how much harder it is to isolate virus from the air2 replies 16 retweets 85 likes -

“Willfully ignorant”? Those are strong words. I think one of the reasons why there hasn’t been a more open discourse across disciplines about the nuances of this topic is because you’ve been so aggressive and disrespectful.

Seconded. I'd say it's "willfully ignorant," as well as incredibly disrespectful, for people who specialize in air pollution to be setting standards involving the culture of pathogens they have never worked with and probably never thought about until a couple months ago.

I'm also really sick of hearing from physicists & engineers that I need to be aware that this pandemic is killing people. Because not only am I well aware of that both as a virologist & as a person who has had family members profoundly affected by COVID, so has EVERYONE at WHO.

And I am sick of hearing people who have never studied the transport of particles through the air, and who keep making enormous error after enormous error (e.g. droplets at 5 um) dismiss the experts in that field.

Well I'm sick of people who've never studied epidemiology misunderstanding basic elements of the discipline (I.e. potential sources of bias in retrospective studies...). Just seems very odd and silly tbh

The transport of particles through the air is not epidemiology, it is aerosol science. If it cannot be transported though the air, it cannot infect, sorry. And that is the situation for droplets when talking.
