This is to illustrate that interior spaces are to be avoided and Biden needs an Aerosol Advisor.

Any single person at the 400 person event would have had a 43.55% chance of getting it.

Also, used in my previous analysis of the #CovidCotillions aka the Rose Garden Massacre:

You can see the assumptions made below.

If I do have your attention - aerosol scientists typically do NOT recommend plexiglass shields as protection (the vice-presidential debate).

& I wonder why the Secret Service let this party proceed given the above %'s? I think they also need an Aerosol Advisor.

We

really need to keep President-Elect Biden safe to guide us out of this pandemic.

Please get some Aerosol Scientists on board as part of your transition.

Thank you.

And one very important addition that I forgot...the actual aerosol risk estimator is from Dr. Jimenez, @jljcolorado.

Who has been an absolute force in moving forward the entire world towards understanding the importance of aerosol transmission in the spread of #COVIDー19.
