SMELL IS DRIVEN BY SMALL MOLECULES WITH RECEPTORS IN THE NOSE, it is NOT a proxy for viruses, viral particles, or infection signed an actual person with expertise in microbiology =)

Yes, that is what I said. Smell is due to gases, small molecules. Viruses travel in aerosols. They still travel together in turbulent air motions in rooms. I am an actual atmospheric chemistry and aerosol expert, and do measurements of this kind of thing all the time.

When you want to know how aerosols (that contain viruses) travel in a room, you need an indoor air journal Now, find me an article in a virology journal that studies air motions in rooms, and differential diffusion of gases and aerosols Diff pieces of problem = diff displicines

if your calculations don't match epi data (they don't) which is about viral movement in real life, you change your assumptions.

This is an epi study that we did of the Skagit choir outbreak, IMHO the clearest case of the pandemic, because of the high structure of their actions. Had to be through aerosols. https://doi.org/10.1111/ina.12751 …pic.twitter.com/K4AiLhu9QQ

my mom lives 20 mins from there and knows people who attended; there was shared food and drink and breakouts around the piano etc so... maybe there's an epi way to explain it. plus singing isn't talking. and if everything was like this, the Ro would be 20 lol. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

Christ. READ MORE. You offer NOTHING constructive in your attack on Dr. Jimenez. It’s your fucking ego talking. GET OVER YOURSELF. This time we’re living in isn’t a fucking GAME. People are dying & you’re like 45’s Dr. Atlas, full of opinions based in wilfull ignorance.

Dr. Osmundson is nothing like Scott Atlas. Here he raises some EXTREMELY valid points about Dr. Jimenez’s analysis, which was actually JLJ effectively redoing a much more comprehensive epidemiological investigation conducted by the CDC. It’s not ego to point out flawed studies.

I still find it wild that some people can't admit that human behaviour might have contributed to transmission in outbreaks

But does that rule out the contribution of aerosols from signing?
