In April 2020, Lothar Wieler, head of RKI (German CDC) says first they thought Corona transmitted via droplets. But now, they realise that aerosols are the important vector, & that’s why they recommend masks. Because masks work against aerosols. THIS IS HOW DUMB THEY AREhttps://twitter.com/tomdabassman/status/1406277660595179524 …
It is backwards, he has it precisely backwards: Masks might matter against droplets, against aerosols they are completely fucking worthless. There is just no overemphasising, how boundlessly stupid all of these assholes are, and somehow they‘ve gotten the keys to all our lives.
I still think R0 for asymptomatic people is way lower than 1. I can’t find clusters centering around asymptomatic index cases.
I don’t even understand the claim on its own terms sounds like the idea was, if droplets —> use distancing, but if aerosols —> use something else, and ‘masks’ were drafted to play the role of ‘something else’ whether or not they actually work at filtering aerosols. strange
my read is that wieler was told by somebody at some point that masks might work against this one thing, but not at all against this other thing, and he has no clue, and he got these things mixed up.
