I don't think there is any way to avoid "mainly" aerosol transmission and fit the known facts and physics. The indoor/outdoor difference in epi, the ventilation matters indoors data, HEPA filter role, the overdispersed dynamics... Other mainly airborne diseases look like this.

Yes but be careful of semantics & absolutist rhetoric. Many ppl don't understand what airborne/aerosol actually means IRL re: SARS2 spread. It's a complex topic that defies simplistic explanations. Even Carl Zimmer wisely shows the "virus in a tiny drop"https://twitter.com/jeffreytran/status/1473097037935792135?s=20 …

I agree that many people don't understand what airborne transmission means. We have written a paper explaining common misconceptions (and another one soon-to-appear in

I'm good, thanks. Similarly, MDs on WHO committees *yelled* at the aerosol scientists on this thread, but time has spoken there as well. Not everyone with degrees can do good science.
