Cdc added them may 2021 or so. The WHO still denies airborne spread. Plenty of jurisdictions still vigorously fight against recognizing aerosol spread as it would involve more work to fight. For example Ontario: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/08/26/ontario-fought-against-treating-covid-19-as-an-airborne-threat-in-hospitals-and-won-with-the-fourth-wave-bearing-down-was-that-the-right-move.html https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/08/26/ontario-fought-a...
And yes, if you have a virus that cam infect 245 people in the gym through the air, then ventilation is more important than handwashing. I’m not sure anyone has even established evidence for fomite spread! I expect it is a mechanism too but the point is it has been treated as default for some reason despite lack of evidence and evidence for other methods.
- perl4ever 5y ago>Cdc added them may 2021 or so The Delta variant took over in the US around the beginning of July. Doesn't the type of spread you are harping on mainly pertain to Delta? If so, then the CDC was anticipating it a month or more in advance; that doesn't seem like a belated response.
