where did you get that information?
- mort96 2y agoI think it's a joke? Probably referencing how everyone said that COVID-19 wasn't airborne and we were hyper focused on surface transmission when it is, in fact, airborne
- XorNot 2y agoI love how everyone is a retrospective expert on COVID-19, claiming things were "obvious" about it when it was in fact, a brand new disease - characterized by in fact, never having been seen before and as a result was completely unknown. "It was airborne! They should've known that!" - like, how? You can't exactly grab a few hundred people, and run an experiment where you deliberately infect a bunch of them with a brand new, deadly disease to really pin down the transmission mechanism. And given that everyone lost their minds over face masks, "wash hands" was some pretty mild initial advice while so much wasn't certain.
- dboreham 2y agoSee above. I could tell it spread airborne and said so here at the time.
- _yb2s 2y agoIt was obvious to lay people observing the situation that it was airborne- with things like the choir singing superspreader event in March 2020. This was so unlike past airborne diseases, that this was a rare case where being formally educated in virology seemed to make it harder observe the obvious.
- foobarian 2y agoIt's Morgan Freeman's classic line from Outbreak. Young people I tell ya... :-)
- dboreham 2y agoEveryone here being: people who were obviously lying (since people locked in their cruise ship cabins somehow managed to contract it).
- mort96 2y agoThat may be, but it was what was clearly communicated to the public from health agencies.
