So much gratitude to @avizvizenilman and @isaacscher who provided incredible research assistance. The piece was fact-checked within an inch of its life over many days, and it's the tip of an iceberg in terms of the research and documentation that went into it.

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 …

Layman engineer here. It seems like that since we’ve been at this for over a year science would have solid and precise numbers for this.

Very hard to do because of the difficulty of finding natural experiment conditions that would show it, plus social acquisition bias tends to throw off contact tracing.

Could you argue it's safer to be outdoors and unvaccinated vs. indoors and vaccinated?
