Covid Indoors: Scrubbing Surfaces Does Little to Mitigate Threat https://nyti.ms/3pEIS3T Spend at least half your time, resources, and effort cleaning the air instead. @ShellyMBoulder

It's hard to imagine a worse example, to be honest. Hong Kong's scientists have been at the forefront of emphasizing airborne transmission; it's citizenry universally masked up ON ITS OWN INITIATIVE in January despite a draconian law against masks.
-
Hong Kong scientists pushed back against WHO messaging on lack of airborne transmission and their citizenry, if anything, is extra-cautious. We don't need some far away and false example when we close schools here on Wednesdays to drown the place in bleach and don't open windows.

Agree that Hong Kong is not a good example but it's not clear that Fennelley had Hong Kong in mind when he said this. But the article's author does suggest it in the rest of the article.pic.twitter.com/EN5F9L10ql

The whole article is a disservice to the topic which is otherwise important. We don't need to make up examples when people can just look at New York itself where the MTA and schools kept closing for deep cleaning, but no open windows in many places.

Don't throw the baby out, with the bathwater--although the illustrative example of Hong Kong might be deeply flawed/misrepresented, the article's overarching message: dump the "Hygiene Theatre" and instead, start scrubbing the air, is spot on!!
-
The problem is that anyone looking at Hong Kong as an example would sensibly conclude that they aren't doing anything wrong, and that case doesn't tell us anything about hygiene theater being harmful--and one can step outside in New York for a proper example!

The article is citing the HK airport authority's touting its spritzer machine as creating a false sense, not HK approach overall.

This article says Cold and flu are spread differently than corona. I thought many cold viruses were coronaviruses? Arent colds and flus primarily spread through respiration? Am I missing something?
