I wrote about ventilation last July and to this day, I get contacted by desperate people who work in places that disinfect at length but don't have extensive ventilation mitigations, and consider six feet to as be-all-end-all. When they object, they're told that's the guidelines.

While we are at it—and while noting that many experts in countries like Japan (and SK/Taiwan/HK) had airborne-transmission (AND overdispersion AND presymptomatic transmission) nailed by February 2020—here's our own imitable

Went back my July article on ventilation & aerosol transmission that I wrote after listening to the infectious disease experts in Japan & Hong Kong, aerosol experts here like

We may *finally* be at a turning point for aerosols and airborne transmission—not just lip service but real recognition. Few of the Twitter people who've been saying this—and working so hard to be heard—for a year:

There are others, too. The message about aerosols and airborne transmission was dismissed, resisted, attacked despite increasing evidence (again Japan/Hong Kong etc. had this by Feb 2020). When it's written, it will be an interesting and illuminating history of how things fail.

If this was a health care professional or a journalist, you would have a point but this is… Amtrak? Maybe their role is being clear about their rules, rather than muddy them up with nuance?
