Surfacing a very technical but important, ongoing thread for visibility. We ask the qn - "what level of sensitivity do we really need for a test that is done frequently

Ominous: we now have SMOKING GUN proof that #SARSCoV2 virus aerosol particles in the air are indeed infectious. Scientists captured air-floating Microdroplets, and then tested the air-derived virus to see
