The *original* point was about the dominance of aerosols. Physics settles that question. I don't care what you call them, as long as people understand what you mean. Relevant: what you need to mitigate. Hence stress on N95 mask, air purification/ventilation etc.

Those arguments are a lot stronger. I agree.

And we are 100% (or nearly so) in agreement re. broadly deployed mitigations.

Ok. But again with the qualifier!! What do you not agree with?

I think we might disagree about the importance of droplet mitigations *in addition* to aerosol mitigations (some of which overlap) in congregate and clinical settings. I don't think the half-assed droplet mitigations in, e.g., supermarkets, can make any difference at all.

You mean face screens/plexiglass barriers? In clinical settings I see value in face screens. But generally plexiglass barriers are bad idea. They tend to accumulate stuff behind them (fluid dynamics). There's a bunch of CFD visuals for that, but also similar effect as snow banks

So OMG I think we're actually in
agreement here

Which makes what Kim and the others have been saying the whole time correct. The WHO committees literally yelled at them, and a whole bunch of scientists, who had gathered to politely to point all this out. But yeah, physics is physics.

She was talking about pollution, and a quote got bungled afai. Let’s say that’s her biggest sin. At the same time, WHO was denying airborne transmission outside of hospital AP and opposing masks. WHO did not recommend universal masks indoors till December 2020, because droplets.

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.
