      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 air

      “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

      Can epidemiologists give an expert opinion of aerosols without knowing about them?

      That depends. Can physical scientists give an expert opinion on disease transmission without knowing about infectious diseases?

      In the real-life, the best tool we have now to fight against transmission is FAQ-aerosols document, written by them. It is not epidemiologist vs physics, what we are saying is that it is necessary a multidisciplinary scientific communication. 👉Can you explain "it depends"?

      Odd that such a focus on multidisciplinary thought would exclude leading experts in the fields of viral transmission and human disease 🤔

          I do not understand why you feel excluded, instead of happy because the population has, in all this chaos, at least a clear guide with key points. Indeed, it is advantageous from the epidemiological point of view
