6- If you still are not convinced by the above evidence than see
study
where viable (infectious) SARS-CoV-2 was present in aerosols within the hospital room of COVID-19 patients
in the absence of health-care aerosol-generating procedures

7-The air transmission issue should be taken seriously now, during the course of the epidemic.
When the epidemic is over and retrospective data demonstrates the importance of airborne transmission it will be too late

10- the number one thing public is reminded to do in Japan is
'avoid closed spaces with poor ventilation'
see
another public messaging in Japan. Note the date March 1 2020 public is being told to
'Avoid gathering in groups with poor ventilation'
@MrTimLane @BMA_Consultants
'avoid closed spaces with poor ventilation'
see

'Avoid gathering in groups with poor ventilation'
@MrTimLane @BMA_Consultants
11- We in UK have been behind the curve all through this Pandemic
but now please
accept the fact of airborne transmission & add importance of 'ventilation' to public messaging
@The_Eye_Doctor @AliRacaniere @drtariq_ie @jsbamrah @SimonTavabie @ahmedhankir @kamleshkhunti
but now please

@The_Eye_Doctor @AliRacaniere @drtariq_ie @jsbamrah @SimonTavabie @ahmedhankir @kamleshkhunti
12- I am just a simple eye doc so if any of my more learned colleagues think my interpretation of evdience is wrong please correct me
however if you think I am right
than please tell me why still in UK I am not hearing imp of 'ventilation' in any of public health messaging
