Right? What a backwards bunch of logic.

It’s actually worse. That “SCREWED” is based on an incorrect understanding of how aerosols work. Recognizing it as aerosols, but also specifically how it works for this pathogen, would’ve allowed us to be much more effective, because it has chokepoints exactly because of that.
-
It used to be assumed that all aerosolized pathogens are like measles. It’s just not true. So we didn’t just identify the mechanism wrong, we previously misunderstood the mechanism. Fascinating scientific story. Some more key papers coming out soon as well, but a lot already out.

I get this is how science works, but it’s incredible to just now be reading conclusions (like if you’re indoors distancing isn’t bulletproof) that have been obvious since the beginning if you assume it’s airborne

They've known this for a LONG time. I've heard multiple Drs/researchers exasperated that the WHO would not actually write this.

Yep. That was kept from us. They knew that information early on.https://first10em.com/covid-19-is-spread-by-aerosols-an-evidence-review/ …

Most likely. Air/oxygen is essential to our survival and hearing that we may inhale a deadly pathogen kinda creates a primal panic, so to speak. Also, just not having a complete enough understanding, much less time to go through the scientific process.

Finally, some sensibility is getting through.

That seemed to be what held back admitting it. Because if it's aerosols (spoiler: it is), then restaurants, schools, stores, offices, etc. aren't safe (even with spaced out tables and wiping down menus). And they didn't want to admit that & hurt the economy.

To be clear: there ARE options to make indoor places safer: ventilation, HEPA filtration (portable or in HVAC), UV in HVAC ducts, and good well-fitting masks (e.g., N95s) more readily available.
