People are saying "droplet" vs "aerosol" is semantic.

The WHO said aerosol scientists own vent companies.

I got upset.

A thread.

Rhinovirus thread

This study tested how rhinovirus transmits. (Dick et al. 1987.)

Briefly, ppl infected w/ rhinovirus played cards for 12 hours w/ uninfected ppl. Some of the uninfected were stopped from touching face. Rate of attack the same.

They then stopped all air exchange between the groups: ZERO infected.

Of particular note, they did airflow studies and the "droplet nuclei" were found throughout the office.

Furthermore, lack of ventilation already known.

So what on earth are the people who are arguing against aerosol actually fighting?

Low risk that SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted via fomites.

Just a thread of references.
