Before this gets out of hand. "Distance doesn't matter" IS NOT what "it's airborne" or primarily aerosol-transmitted means or implies, and the headline is not reflecting correctly a modeling paper they are using says.

A good many people in this field, who acknowledge and have published on airborne transmission for years, are in this thread explaining the problem. I could recommend more. Could you check with them and others before telling people that a life-saving mitigation is useless?

We would love to talk with them, but this story wasn’t about their opinions, it was about the conclusions of the MIT researchers.

I think you need to read the entire story, not just the headline, to see what the authors of the study said themselves about their conclusions.

That headline is misleading and dangerous, and there are an increasing number of scientists who've published in this very field telling you this in this thread and elsewhere. I read the article, it does NOT REFLECT the well-mixed assumption which is crucial.
