      Incredible New Zealand study on a mystery transmission in a quarantine hotel. For a while, a garbage can was suspected—one of the very, very few known suspected cases of fomite transmission. Turns out... it's aerosols. What a Kuhnian year this has been. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/5/21-0514-f1 …pic.twitter.com/FIym2BVWZu

      Interesting science & sociology of science at once. This year will clearly force an updating of our understanding of role of aerosol transmission for respiratory pathogens. PLUS it's almost text-book Kuhnian in how it's happening: resistance, "epicycling" and then paradigm shift.

      Yes, feels like cold-comfort now as we are and have been late, but we're here. The new CDC director has already cited importance of aerosols as one of things that most surprised her—along with a good chunk of people, clearly. But this will bring in good changes for future.

      Nothing wrong with a (sensible) amount of hand-washing but the issue is that our mitigations need a hierarchy of energy and resources. Deep cleaning is still a big thing, parks/beaches are still shut down. Clearly—very clearly—our stack was wrong-ordered.https://twitter.com/mr_james_c/status/1373721813058994177 …

      The UK is going have a hell of a time overcoming a year's worth of sunk costs on handwashing messaging. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1373721060282089476 …

      Also, it’s interesting how it’s places like Japan and South Korea and Hong Kong etc., whose scientists knew from day one that airborne transmission was a key route—disregarding global official guidance essentially—that managed to beat back outbreaks to get back to near normalcy.

      I'm still not sure why the global orgs were so wrong on this. Did these countries have special institutional knowledge (e.g. from previous outbreaks) that just wasn't considered by the rest of the world? What happened?

          I think they’re trying to help but “help” to them doesn’t mean save as many lives as possible; it means make sure the number of deaths is one we can live with, while preserving the global economy to the greatest extent possible.

          They didn’t want people to demand the even more costly mitigation measures associated with aerosol transmission.
