What part are you disagreeing with? You asserted that close prolonged contact is supported by vast epi lit. The higher concentration of aerosols near field has been demonstrated and documented widely. As a lay person, I don’t understand the disconnect.

Yes, "droplet precautions" is a misnomer. They should be called "droplet precautions and pretty-good but not perfect aerosol precautions." Not perfect bc as we mention in

Well-worn surgical masks filter the majority of the aerosols but not all. So it makes sense that transmission would be reduced with so-called "droplet precautions" but not eliminated, in accordance with the evidence: https://doi.org/10.7326/M20-567
