Droplets vs Aerosols and Covid....
This is a rather long interesting article on what has recently been changed in the CDC guidelines.
It's about science, and entrenched science and how through trial and error things get changed or not. It is about germ warfare, tuberculosis, SARs and Covid. It's a detective story. And it's about 5 microns. Please don't bother commenting on your political beliefs or it will get locked. https://www.wired.com/story/the-teen...ign=pockethits

Read an article about this time last year, explaining why it was quite likely that SARS-CoV-2 was spread like SARS-CoV-1, rather than like the flu. It was logical, well sourced, and I looked forward to sharing it with others, but the platform where I came across it, took it down the next day. They considered it unfelpful misinformation.
Kinda funny now. Sad, but funny.

Good read. It really underscores how challenging it can be to make definitive conclusions as something like this was unfolding in real time. I think people had too high expectations and when things shift (based on data) many become skeptical based on their limited understanding of how these things work. It’s frustrating but I actually see that science is doing what it should, things shift as data is reviewed and more data comes in. Holding a dogmatic consistency despite changing data is foolishness. Unfortunately when data changes in science many become mistrustful. Reality is this is science working.

Lay people are often in this conundrum with the so called "common sense" argument which is invariably wrong, but ingrained. It is interesting how many disciplines in science have to come together to arrive at a specific focus like the Covid/SARs issue.

What it tells you is that science is neither fact, nor truth.....which is true.

And the fact that things mutate and evolve means it's always a whack-a-mole scenario to put it in a box. And the fact that I'm not smart enough to understand it.

Sometimes we agree. This is one of them.
