      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.

          Al final del hilo de @AliNouriPhD hago referencia a un tuit de febrero del @DrEricDing en el que ya se menciona una vía de transmisión del SARSCoV2, los aerosoles, en este caso algo diferente a los exhalados, un poco más asquerosos💩..https://twitter.com/00Bohr/status/1299487937843859456?s=20 …

          The epidemiological data for this pandemic is very inconvenient, so the politicians & policy makers continue to ignore it for their ideological and political gain at the expense of public health.

          Congratulations on this excellent publication. Hopefully it will cause a much-needed policy shift. It's astonishing to see how many important players are dealing with their cognitive dissonance on this issue by denying that #COVIDisAirborne

          Husband and I talked about this at the time and we said it had to be airborne to spread so quickly

          Any sense for the risk of virus spread b/w different units in a building with central AC?
