#Aerosol

Something has really been bothering me a lot and it's the notion that there is a scientific debate about whether aerosol transmission of #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 #coronavirus occurs. I don't think

I could not agree more with Dr. Morris and his excellent, balanced thread. I like the visualization but I have the same concerns with this piece. It makes an assumption

7 feet or 12 feet is *NOT* the main risk mitigation issue. The main issue is AIRBORNE transmission if someone in the debate hall is a asymptomatic carrier—thus how much

Most people who know me realise that I’m not a virologist, so take what follows with caution. There’s a lot of talk of aerosol transmission of Covid-19 today. I’d always

COVID is only airborne when there is an aerosol-generating procedure done on a COVID19+ patient. It aerosolizes the virus, making it airborne. But in public places, COVID19 follows droplet transmission,

This pandemic should upend how biologists think about virus transmission—for the better. My greatest regret is having parroted received wisdom early on. I said our @NEJM aerosol stability findings were
