      Exactly. I don’t see what’s new about this guidance. It sure doesn’t seem like the huge shift people are calling it. Seems like we’re splitting hairs unless control measures are changed.https://twitter.com/SaskiaPopescu/status/1307802198546423809 …

      The @CDCgov guidance says “droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols”. Reiterating that this is droplets and aerosols - the guidance remains the same about masks + distancing + limiting indoor activity + hand hygiene + cleaning/disinfection. https://twitter.com/jljcolorado/status/1307787446948511744 …

      Replying to @JenniferNuzzo @angie_rasmussen

      I think it's a huge deal because I've been fielding calls/questions from people for months because of lack of official acknowledgement meant that people weren't even being told to open windows when they could. Even being forbidden to! It has practical implications. @SaskiaPopescu

          I think many scientists & the people who have this discussion on Twitter already had a lot of consensus, so to them, it may seem like a minor deal. Out there.. It's still people bleaching surfaces while not opening windows. Treating six feet as magic even in unventilated indoors.

          Replying to @zeynep @JenniferNuzzo and

          To this day, official WHO guidelines say no need for masks indoors if separated by one meter... Mere three feet. They don't have one single word on ventilation on their public facing page for what individuals should do. Not one word. (Instead, it's paragraphs on handwashing).

          Schools probably will stop forbidding teachers from bringing own air purifiers.

          I hope so! I heard a lot of that, both forbidding opening windows and HEPA filters. There's also this bizarro concept still out there that this will lead to a false sense of security. Why on earth would it? We trust teachers with kids, but not the idea they can be responsible?

          In South Africa the message has been so centered on fomites that most of the general public (from what I have seen family friends etc), dont know about airborne transmission or understand what it is if they did hear about it. The messaging has been poor about aerosols
