The observation is that outdoor xmission is about 20x lower than indoor. Dr. Jimenez argues that transmission indoors and out would be equally efficient in and out for droplet xmission. But time, frequency, geometry will all influence droplet xmission. Not only distance.

I think the competition between the two is pretty clear, especially since one organization was supposed to get this right, and shut out the scientists who tried to point out the things that it is pretty widely recognized now. Congrats, you got a bad quote to “score” points with.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

No doctrine of infallibility in science. Despite the significant missteps you refer to (which Fauci himself initially echoed), I don’t see the WHO as a problem. Droplets are clearly not the only mode of transmission but what “airborne” means IRL is widely misunderstood, too.

airborne has a very specific meaning in infection control, and hospitals are NOT using airborne precautions with SARS CoV-2 precisely b/c WHO’s guidance says airborne precautions are only needed when an aerosol-generating procedure is being performed
