i don't see this as a "new" challenge at all after five years of working on the issues with information that emerged during the other outbreaks - maybe that's where the disconnect is. there are both communication challenges, and bad modeling assumptions.

yes - mock the phrase if you want but that's a continuation of 2012 guidance from SARS, still up on the CDC site. they believe more people catch it from contact w/droplets. they haven't accounted for COVID transmission being different/how they should have shifted that guidance
