If that was the case, transmission would be down ~x2 from indoors to outdoors. But it goes down x20 9https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33249484/), which implies aerosol dominates. How do you explain x20 w/ droplets?

Really, Zeynep? And the duration and orientation (face to face vs side by side, walking) is the same, too? I don't buy it.

Do you have any links to that research? I've looked for it but not found it, probably didn't quite know how to search, keywords etc.

Yep. Will email lit review. "Conversational space" and "personal space" are keywords—it's a very well-studied area of sociolinguistics, and despite people making up stuff on this thread, there's decades of research. Varies by culture, gender-grouping, noise, vertical space etc.

Where does the 2x figure (inside vs. outside) for droplet transmission come from? Show me the reference, Zeynep.

I could be wrong but I am guessing no matter how much proof you ever get, you will not back down or quit or question yourself or think you were ever in any way wrong so I’m guessing the scientists might give up on this conversation.
