      Appreciate the points on needing to direct attention to shared air, but saying surfaces aren’t a problem is inaccurate & misleading. Fomites aren’t the main route (it’s also hard to differentiate contact vs droplet events), but it’s still an important piece of risk reduction.https://twitter.com/j_g_allen/status/1337389335432335361 …

      Shared air is the problem, not shared surfaces, so why are we cleaning so much? I teamed up with colleagues @linseymarr and @ProfCharlesHaas for this new op-ed in @PostOpinions https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/12/11/covid-19-airborne-transmission-cleaning-surfaces/ …

      Also, I’d like to add another piece - with so many people working (and schooling) from home, this has raised the awareness and need for even more for surface cleaning and disinfection. Let’s promote *all* infection prevention measures.

      I’m on board with you here, especially with disinfecting non-porous and/or high touch surfaces. Fomite transmission is hard to trace. I think more precise advice would be helpful to people. What to disinfectant and how.

          For sure - pretty early on though we focused on high-touch surfaces (with a lot of examples, as sadly, this topic is pretty common) and even the FDA came out about not disinfecting groceries.

          Another piece is that disinfection/cleaning is a very visual thing that everyone can do and often acts as a comfort tool for control in a situation that feels out of control. Also - just because we don’t see ppl changing their HVAC settings doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen lol.
