Airborne transmission of Covid
Airborne transmission of Covid
Has this been discussed here yet? Apologies if I’ve missed it.
Re: Airborne transmission of Covid
Figure 5 is... well I'm not sure. Less than crystal clear what it's saying, for a start.
It has, at least, defined a difference between exhaled aerosols and droplets (<5um and >5um respectively) which have been much talked about but never defined in anything I've read.

When this came out a few weeks ago it got slaughtered on twitter, this being not atypical of the response:

In fact, despite coming from one of the guys who won the Nobel prize for chemistry for CFCs, it looks a little like a candidate for the other thread on ‘I agree with your results but your paper’s terrible’, in that it is probably true that SARS-CoV-2 is transmissible by aerosols (or at least I hope so, since I have a grant proposal in at the minute predicated on that being likely) There’s a list of recent papers here:

looking at the behaviour of the virus, several of which make the case for airborne transmission.
