      Thread is pointing out that, apparently, NYC is planning to end remote work but won’t require masks indoors if people can be six feet apart. It’s been a year and the key role of aerosols hasn’t sunk in. Among the biggest pandemic failures.https://twitter.com/heyitsnoah/status/1374713063891427335 …

      I also just discovered that @nycHealthy (DOH) website does not say one word about aerosols, ventilation, filtration — neither on the main website nor any links therein. They’ve also never tweeted it. In fact, their website still says it spreads by droplets. It’s been a year. pic.twitter.com/dDA7M0wLib

      This is exactly the cost of the failure to explain what airborne transmission means, and providing rigid rules instead. So many examples. (Requiring masks outdoor even for fleeting encounters under six feet, but not requiring them indoors if separated by six feet, for example).https://twitter.com/mini_007/status/1374798695934390272 …

      As NYC is increasing in-person learning for public school, most of the class size is getting bigger, like changing from 12 to 24 kids. I know a classroom moved the kids from their classroom with windows to a windowless cafeteria, so they could keep 6 feet apart... 🤦

          I see this in Boston. Ppl dutifully wearing masks outside, then removing them to eat inside packed restaurants. A clerk at Uniqlo put on gloves to take my cash payment. Jury duty in May and not one word about ventilation in the courthouses, but plenty of hand sanitizer etc. 🙄

          didn't nyt do a whole-ass 3-d simulation of aersolized covid in a classroom? isn't aerosolization the entire basis of the dicussion about ventilation? why is DOH so weird about this?

          It appears to me one day surfaces is a problem, the next it is none at all. The next we should use aerosols, the next we should use none at all. Hopefully I receive a vaccine soon my friends.

          Decision makers have highly underestimated the negative impacts of muddled policy prescriptions, shifting AFTER overclaiming, authoritarianism, politicizing, a failure to understand human pops. And I greatly fear/suspect they won't learn valuable lessons; blame is more palatable

          All of the above and also some *anchoring bias*.
