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!

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.

Which is what I’m reconsidering!
