Replying to @kdrum
Not only is this account embarrassingly wrong, I'll just say this part: most viruses are ABSOLUTELY not larger than 5 microns—you are way off. (Besides that particular cut-off error, while interesting and telling, did not play a major role in the history of this.)pic.twitter.com/MIS0EtrfSR

Would still be incoherent beyond fixable.

Sorry about the unit mistake. It's fixed now. And I'm sure the rest of the post is coherent enough to criticize. If you have any specific criticisms, please let me know. It doesn't seem like my summary is all that different from one of yours that I've read.

Your corrected sentence is wrong, too (though the unit is correct, facts aren't). Also the rest of the history is wrong. And many factual errors. Chinese hospitals immediately used airborne precautions, and their very first Nature paper on the virus said it was likely airborne.

What do you see as the strengths of the piece?

A deletion would be a strength. It is honestly unrecognizable to me in facts and history of the topic, and I've been working on this for almost two years now. But I think I'm going to end up dropping the discussion.
