Anyway, it's been a true honor and pleasure to be included in this paper with my co-authors, @trishgreenhalgh @kprather88 @Rschooley @jljcolorado and @dfisman and, hey, I even liked the peer review process! The reviewers were sharp which is always good.

And, this doesn't bind my co-authors, but I think our evidence-base is stronger for discriminating between droplets vs. aerosols, but not as much for fomites especially through resuspension etc. No, not washing groceries but.. I'd wipe down high-touch surfaces in crowded indoors.

We briefly address this (word limit!
) but it's not correct to assume that airborne transmission necessitates either a high R0 like measles or even a uniform transmission pattern. Tuberculosis is airborne but has lowish R0—but likely also overdispersion!https://twitter.com/bobby_dread/status/1383787373134184450 …

Another good addition for people following this topic is Dr.
@linseymarr, a true pioneer in this field (her latest in@bmj_latest, also out this week(!), was titled "Covid-19 has redefined airborne transmission").https://twitter.com/linseymarr/status/1382842521286549508 …Show this thread -
And just putting this thread here so people can get some context of how difficult it has been, for so long, to make progress.https://twitter.com/linseymarr/status/1383066390136041477 …

Feels like an inflection point. Do read what the article linked by Dr. Karan argues: that short-range (close contact) transmission of respiratory infections is also PRIMARILY aerosols—goes against decades of claims of aerosols only/mostly being long-range. https://twitter.com/AbraarKaran/status/1384240928873844742 …pic.twitter.com/xvf2bQeES8
