WHO’s departing chief scientist regrets errors on SARS-CoV-2 spread through air
- Terretta 4y agoThis article discusses the recent departure of the World Health Organization's Chief Scientist, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, and her regret over some of the errors fueling the debate over whether SARS-CoV-2 spreads through airborne transmission. Dr. Swaminathan noted that she believed it was possible for SARS-CoV-2 to spread through aerosolized particles, but that the WHO had communicated this message too late and not strongly enough. She also discussed how important it is for countries to coordinate their strategies in order to fight pandemics more effectively, as well as how crucial it is for scientists around the world to work together on solutions rather than be divided by political considerations. -- TL;DR by GPT-3 text-davinci-003
