It's kind of a shame it didn't stick around, since it is closer to the real dynamics of COVID-19 (and flu, probably) than the droplet dogma that replaced it. It turns out there really are invisible floating clouds around that can get you sick.

It turns out this is not really based on anything other than tradition. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsfs.2021.0049 https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsfs.2021.004...
