      Has been an interesting evolution to overturn a longheld medical focus on droplets...kudos to those that adapted to new input such as @MackayIM rather than remaining with their head in the sand. Once we acknowledge #COVIDisAirborne, we can fix it...masks, filtration, ventilation.https://twitter.com/BarryHunt008/status/1345100538384248832 …

      Early 2020 the world believed CoVID transmission was primarily contact & droplet. 'So glad most of the world has now accepted #COVIDisAirborne!

      I was just making this argument to someone else yesterday (unsuccessfully)-evidence to support one is faaar weaker than the other. So what is the drive to not work to a precautionary principle? Cost of change? Need for better HCW PPE more often? Public pushback? What exactly?

      It will one day be a very interesting story about organizations, epistemology and inertia. Canonical, likely the way the Challenger disaster is the canonical example for groupthink.

          A good time to reread Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions.

          Yes!! The epistemology is fascinating. How we determine mode of transmission, what kind of evidence is required & who is deemed the authority to call a pathogen airborne weren’t questions Id considered before—even as an ID doc!

          🤔 Challenger was groupthink, patronage, politics & tribalism. Yes, similar.

          Yes, and it's not the only example from this pandemic: "closed borders don't work" "masks don't work" "lockdowns don't work" "influenza can't be contained" "a virus with pre-symptomatic transmission can't be eliminated" We owe a lot to Wuhan, NZ, Australia for the evidence
