We now have more data supporting the airborne nature of sars-2 than we have for measles. Looking forward to hearing from ID colleagues about why measles cases can now be managed with droplet precautions.

But that "it's mostly droplets" is without direct evidence, has claims that violate biophysics on particle sizes etc., and contradicts key characteristics of the epidemiological record, whereas "it's mostly aerosols" has evidence and is strikingly consistent with the epi record.

I think, eventually, there may well be really positive changes to transmission/disease management with all the new information and synthesis. Once you know what to look for—overdispersion, indoor/outdoor differences, role of ventilation, distance—I suspect we will find more.

There is also the fact of HCwer and nosocomial transmission at rates we would never have contemplated in our most pessimistic moments pre pandemic . These require transparent, meticulous and open minded assessment.
