      Let's all hope we get clear guidance soon on this. This should not have ever deteriorated into an "us vs them." In the end, how can we describe how this virus is spreading? A big part is superspreader events. Fact. @SaskiaPopescu @epireporthttps://twitter.com/jljcolorado/status/1312869545699274752 …

      And I am sick of hearing people who have never studied the transport of particles through the air, and who keep making enormous error after enormous error (e.g. droplets at 5 um) dismiss the experts in that field.

      Please please quit discrediting logical fact based explanations without providing an alternative. And include your credentials for the public.

      Just so we’re clear, you’re asking me to provide my credentials to the public? I already have and this is an impressive attempt at gatekeeping. I’m astounded by your accusation that I’m unqualified to speak on transmission. We’ve suggested “inhalation” several times.

      Also, there's a thing called Google that easily allows one to check qualifications besides what is in a Twitter bio. I'm curious how someone whose expertise is studying marine aerosols using mass spectrometry is suddenly a renowned expert in virus transmission by any route.

      *peeks* Look, this website sucks for nuance and things escalate too easily. There’s broad areas of agreement and all this expertise is necessary. Maybe another forum more suitable to nuance and details would be better?

          President of the US is touring hospital grounds in a bulletproof car while Covid+ and on dexa. Kinda alarming as a moment. And this format really isn’t great for resolving complication. *peace out*
