    Just out in @ScienceMagazine: A review of airborne transmission of respiratory viruses. We were overdue for a paradigm shift in our understanding of transmission mechanisms of all respiratory viruses.

        Obviously, I started writing about airborne transmission because of this pandemic. I've learned a remarkable amount from the amazing group of scientists who work on this, but also on my own topics like causal inference, sociology of knowledge and the data/conclusion/policy cycle.

        The article has amazing amount of scientific detail with many implications on many aspects of respiratory disease. But, when this history is written, I think it will be clear that *just the epidemiological data* was screaming substantial airborne component by March/April of 2020.

        Is there any research re: transmissibility from nasal exhalations vs those from the mouth? (noses out of the mask but mouth covered?)

        Should we be talking more about UV disinfection?

        I think the problem with UVC Disinfection is that it requires prolonged exposure (5+ minutes). A fan pushing air for half a second pass a bulb doesn't do much especially when you consider how long it takes for most fans to fully circulate the air in a room.

        As far as I've been able to tell the relative importance of aerosols versus fomites seem to come down to whether a virus tends to attack the upper or lower respiratory tract. H1N1 seems to love fomite transmission but H5N1 doesn't seem to, for instance.

        The visuals are very clear and to the point. My only doubt is about that one where contaminated air is coming in, are they referring to the virus coming in through your open window?
