Here is the public health mainstream vs math fight here, and I think personally biased by a thought of seasonal respiratory viruses being spread more by fomites, very close contact/droplets than airborne https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1249296844712218624

I think the risk of airborne nature of respiratory viruses in hospitals/clinics/communities has been understated, partially because addressing this is cumbersome and expensive (neg pressure, all different HVAC, ubiquitous masks), and we've been protected by req vaccines in HCW.

Plenty willing to be disagreed with here. But the safe side of the argument is to assume more airborne (ie droplet but more extensive than we thought, not spores) spread than we thought, and still wash your hands and don't touch your face.

We need to think of airborne vs droplet spread more of a gradient than an absolute.

There is a great blog by @dawso007 and I hope he links it so I can add it to this thread.
