2) overdispersed nature of transmission
Top mask worn for ~45 min by person with strong RAT nasal swab, mask tested within 5 min, inside of mask was dry.

An unfortunate finding during my RAT experiments:
My symptomatic children never tested positive on a RAT and I never tested positive on the RATs available in ON.
Without access to PCR testing for kids and case reporting in schools, we’re intentionally flying blind.
