      We should wash one's hands. Why didn't he communicate with the Task Force to get an update? Instead, he misinformed the population? And why is he so quiet now and not enlightening the population? He's from Geneva, and you have a voice. So use it.

      Also I wear my mask and ventilate before I wash my hands. So thanks for telling me nothing I don’t know already other than the fact that you have subpar comms skills to make effective changes and that is the issue at here

      Keep up the good work. It is clear that one day the whole world will know who deliberately blocked the recognition of airborne transmission. You have seen what happens to idiots (STIKO DE).

      By the way.. “airborne transmission” is still NOT what most people talking about it think it is. Can it happen? Yes. Is is the primary driver of the pandemic— NO. Presymptomatic spread at short distances is.

      Presymptomatic spread at close range thru aerosols is the main mode...many pubs backing this up. Many people do realize airborne is the main mode of transmission. Unfortunatley they get confused by people spreading misinfo that don't read the literature.https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(21)00869-2/fulltext …

      I agree...I honestly want to see proof it is mostly close range...with contact tracing, we force that answer, don't we? I have been calling it the streetlamp effect for many months...

      Close range transmission OBVIOUSLY important. Many examples in my own life of seeing it happen. Households, work places etc. One unvaccinated person infected my buddy at his job in NYC. Delta infected a whole household of vaxxed friends of ours, after a kid <10 brought it home.

      Nobody is saying it is not important. Rather, it is: close-range transmission also appears to be dominated by aerosols, and long-range transmission is not only obviously possible, we may be underestimating it due to ascertainment bias in the way we trace cases (see NFL example).

      Replying to @zeynep @macroliter and

      If close range transmission was also dominated by droplets, there could not be this stark a difference between indoor/outdoor transmission & ventilation would make little to no difference indoors: droplets would ballistically land on people regardless of outdoors or ventilation.

          I have repeatedly asked for anyone to write a theory of how predominantly droplet transmission would explain the facts of the world as we observe it, and remain open to it, starting with why outdoors and ventilation matters. Aerosols as main route fit the known facts very well.

          I’m a sports fan & was truly alarmed at soccer crowds until I realized being outdoors was somehow preventing matches from being superspreader events.
