      Tragedy is that it was worse than forget. Spring, Summer & even Fall 2020 was full of people with a lot of credentials, reach and power pushing back or actively blocking the idea aerosol transmission as a key driver! Honestly wouldn't have believed it if I didn't live through it.https://twitter.com/sarahzhang/status/1363956932768333831 …

      I wrote about something I've thinking about a lot recently: 19th century doctors were themselves obsessed with ventilation. How did we manage to forget that? 1/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/02/bad-air/618106/ …

      We're there, now, finally with acceptance. (Did something important happen last year?) Will we learn from what went wrong? (Not every country and not every expert was wrong or this late). Also key: will we fix this? Better ventilation would be an enormous gain even post-pandemic.

          Better ventilation and indoor air-quality, more access to outdoors, and the recognition of the importance of aerosol transmission for many pathogens, not just this one, would be a lasting benefit. Amidst the tragedy these are among productive gains: mRNA vaccines, ventilation.

          The desire for amnesia is understandable. Things are raw, it's not even over and being wrong is painful—especially when the stakes were so high, and people thought they were helping by acting on best knowledge they had. But understanding how things went awry is how we fix things.

          Honestly, before, I thought Kuhnian "paradigm shift" theories were too simplistic; that groupthink, while of course real—and we teach it as a key sociological concept—was more marginal/limited; and Michels/Weber were maybe a bit outdated in their strictness of org theory? lol me

          The general pattern here is still playing out in the ICU, with most doctors trying to fit Covid pathophysiology with their general (low-signal) priors on ARDS.

          Better indoor ventilation has been associated with better health outcomes and school performance in the past. Also, indoor pollution a major source of health issues, as @NewYorker told us in April 2019...https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/04/08/the-hidden-air-pollution-in-our-homes …

          unless there's some way to massively monetize fixing this, we absolutely will not

          Not if it costs money! I’m convinced that’s why at least some institutions have pretended they don’t know the importance of ventilation - *they don’t want to spend the money on new windows that open*

          Unions and consumer groups are asking CDC to recognize the coronavirus is mostly airborne. If not OSHA protections expected in March could be really flimsy. pic.twitter.com/elrvu8k1Fn

          Have to believe that living in a temperate or warm climate is a huge advantage.
