I just want to keep highlighting that there are very few confirmed outdoor transmission cases at all, and they are mostly in the context of prolonged *and* really close contact AND that the science of aerosol transmission makes it very clear why outdoors is so so much safer.https://twitter.com/JoannaTeglund/status/1390681712682749952 …

Excellent, rapid progress from the CDC, clarifying the tables that came with the aerosol update.https://twitter.com/linseymarr/status/1391863551132897285 …

I recently went through the same chasing down of known outdoor case percentage. Same conclusion. As
@mugecevik explains, "less than 10%" is misleading. Reported numbers of confirmed cases are around 0.1% so way lower than 10% even assuming undercounting. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/11/briefing/outdoor-covid-transmission-cdc-number.html …pic.twitter.com/1Zr5Iuqj54

Seeing so many wondering if confirmed outdoor transmission can really be that low, compared with indoors. Yes. This confusion is another loss of being so late to acknowledge the key role of aerosols: the epidemiological record shows exactly what acknowledging aerosols predicts.

Yep, the problem with gyms — enclosed spaces where people engage in activities that we know greatly increase aerosol production — is that we aren't sufficiently good at spraying the weights with disinfectants. (ht

This is why the whole lack of clear communication and understanding around aerosol transmission—and the ensuing dominant visualization of COVID-19 mitigation as disinfecting, and its breach as people outdoors/beaches—matters. It makes things worse. https://twitter.com/dankrutka/status/1392913606522646538 …
