Most infectious disease specialists have no clue what they’re talking about when it comes to airborne transmission.
Instead listen to the aerosol scientists, occupational hygienist, engineers and HVAC specialists. #ASHRAE

No clue about aerosol transmission: «Probably most important (thing) is to have you & your child wash their hands … either with alcohol-based sanitizers that are installed on walls & around the WR & the (ER), or just soap & water» Dr. Rubin, peds Montreal Children’s Hospital
«Rubin added that staying far away from people who are coughing can also help, though isn’t always possible when a facility is busy.» Dr. Rubin, peds ID, Montreal Children’s
Shows no clue about airborne transmission. Distance isn’t enough if you spend hours in packed ER WR.
«While it might seem like WRs are hotbeds for catching viruses since so many sick people are concentrated in one place, that isn’t necessarily the case, Rubin said, mainly because it’s a setting where there are infection prevention protocols.»
