      We can add a courtroom to the list of venues with well-characterized outbreaks demonstrating airborne transmission. People were distanced and unmasked, broken ventilation system, 3 hours. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ina.12866 … Cat lawyer by Zoom is safer.pic.twitter.com/ywFHirvQEy

      “Participants therefore removed their masks once they were seated at least 1.5 m apart.”

          I see this all the time. "We're distanced, no need to wear masks" or the slightly better version "We're masked and distanced, no need to be outdoors". I think the messaging in the early phase of the pandemic that emphasized sanitation theater and social distancing has stuck.

          Just got blocked by someone for saying that made it was a mistake to focus messaging on the largely theatrical distancing, rather than ventilation and masks. The dogma is strong.

          Don’t think non-N95 masks help against aerosols building up in a room over a long time like here. Their benefit is against coughs or sneezes instantly infecting you in short exposure intervals. @youyanggu

          Yeah they do. They catch a lot of the potential aerosols leaving the infected person and lower probability on the receiving end. It's all a question of probabilities. Obviously N95 makes it much less likely.

          But “everyone knows it’s airborne” and “exiting mitigation strategies cover it,” anyway.

          Rule of thumb: If a situation is unsafe without a mask, it is unsafe with a mask.
