1/ @CDCgov has bought into layered inhalation dose, and therefore risk, reduction strategies. Pleased by this recognition, but not ready to shower the agency with adulation. The agency's credibility has taken a hit. I want to see a sustained effort of focus & doing right.

2/ My life has been about looking forward. But it is difficult not to reflect on where we would have been today had recognition of inhalation of virus-laden aerosol particles in both the near and far fields been recognized by @CDC 10 months ago.
3/ Future planning for the next pandemic or continued battle with SARS-CoV-2 must rely on continued innovation, but also on a deep forensics analysis of all of the failures (on so many fronts - not just @CDC) that fueled an inferno of infection in the US & elsewhere.
4/ Failure to do a retrospective analysis would be another failure. IMO we need interdisciplinary efforts by researchers to marry lessons learned w/ future efforts to appropriately PREVENT infection, as opposed to simply treating it & waiting for a vaccine. We need both (badly).
