No. I am saying "airborne" as in the WHO issued a blanket statement that Covid was NOT airborne and the domain experts who asserted that it did indeed spread that way were crackpots.
Does the WHO's statement, "FACT: #Covid19 is NOT airborne", ring a bell?
> there's some evidence
Feel free to provide it.
- DanBC 3y agoMost infections were not from "airborne" transmission, but from fomites and particles. It's always weird when people say "show me the evidence" as if it's a win. You don't know what you're talking about, and now you want me to do extra work for you? No. Maybe do the work before you leap into the conversation.
- GeekyBear 3y ago> Most infections were not from "airborne" transmission Restating false information is not "proof". Even the White House has now explicitly stated the new scientific consensus that Covid is primarily airborne and started talking about the sorts of mitigations that can be successful when you finally admit how the virus is spreading. >The most common way COVID-19 is transmitted from one person to another is through tiny airborne particles of the virus hanging in indoor air for minutes or hours after an infected person has been there. While there are various strategies for avoiding breathing that air – from remote work to masking – we can and should talk more about how to make indoor environments safer by filtering or cleaning air. https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/03/23/lets-clear-the-air-on-covid/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/03/23/lets...
