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 …

Yes the feet-dragging from WHO, etc is not excusable. I do think that quantitatively we still understand these issues very poorly (e.g., indoors, am I 5x more likely to be infected at 6ft instead of 12ft, or 100x?) which may explain some of the messiness of the paradigm shift.

It wasn't just foot dragging because of inertia though. They didn't believe it, or worried that it would displace hand-washing. (I was told this, directly). This is what I mean by the amnesia—I wish it were a fight in the weeds like that about the precise cut-offs or knowledge.
