I do think it’s wrapped up in politics. 6 foot distancing always felt more like a compromise between public health and economy than a heuristic based on health alone.

It’s like an Overton window of acceptable science and common sense whose position and width is set by acceptable economic loss rates.

Some of this stuff (aerosol spread, you can get it through your eyes) was known or at least strongly suspected while it was still in Wuhan. It's been bizarre to watch it all get re-learned piece by piece over here.

Not relearned... just admitted

Yeah, by mid-March I wasn't leaving the house without a kit that included a N95, a surgical mask for backup in case of broken elastic, safety glasses, latex gloves, a spray bottle of alcohol, and a few paper towels. It became habit so quickly I don't even think about it now.

Same here. The Guangdong restaurant made airborne transmission clear a long time ago. There was never any evidence to otherwise suggest that airborne transmission was not dominant. More than 6 months later, I guess it's great that we can finally accept this?
