2/ A few other key quotes/reminders:
“It’s become clear that transmission by inhalation of aerosols — the microscopic droplets — is an important if not dominant mode of transmission,” says Prof. @linseymarr , who studies airborne disease transmission.

“You have to make up some really convoluted scenarios in order to explain superspreading events w/ contam. surfaces”
“If we’ve already paid attention to the air & we have some extra time resources, then yes, wiping down those high-touch surfaces could be helpful”: @linseymarr

"Although it’s probably rare, says @bencowling88, transmission through surfaces can’t be ruled out. 'It just doesn’t seem to happen that much, as far as we can tell.'”

“Fomite transmission is possible, but it just seems to be rare,” says @SeqH2O. “A lot of things have to fall into place for that transmission to happen.”
