Useful thread from @linseymarr on the ongoing confusion around the term "airborne." I tried alternatives and arrived at the same place: we should use the term because it's the clearest one we have, and also use the opportunity to update its hospital/infection control definitions.https://twitter.com/linseymarr/status/1399761760983334912 …

The chasm between physics/chemistry/engineering and medicine has grown during a time when it should have been dramatically narrowing. This is bad.

Pretty much any mask is better than no mask. And if everyone is masked, the effects stack. But, if unvaccinated and indoors for a while with poor ventilation/filtration? I wouldn't feel safe without an N95 for the reasons you mention.

As a HCW, I get what you’re saying but I don’t feel the ventilation in my unit is great. We have essentially non private rooms-only separated by sliding glass panels. We put COVID +/- side by side. It worries me.

Maybe the distinction between a solution and suspension would provide a useful analogy?

This is one of the most fundemental issues of the science community's Covid response. Language is a tool to communicate an idea. When adherence to archaic definitions causes that idea to mutate as it is communicated, the communication has abjectly failed.

We have to make comparisons, search analogies with well-known aerosols, like tobacco smoke, perfume, or even farts.
