Six months after my Op-Ed in @TIME Magazine, it is shocking that the are still having to continue to fight this battle.
It is now obvious that #COVIDisAirborne, but @WHO, @CDCgov, & many health ministries continue to drag their feet. Don't say it clearly, ppl not well protected

2/ Many governments continue to waste large amounts of money and time in surface disinfection.
I was really saddened when talking to the Education Dept. of a very large city (in South America, about to start academic year). They had spent a fortune on cleaners and disinfectants.

3/ This city that had spent a fortune on disinfectants, had spent ZERO on ventilation, CO2 monitors, better masks etc.
They were disoriented when I asked them about it. @WHO has done a terrible job, obfuscating and disinforming about transmission.

4/ Large City Education Dept.: "we are disinfecting a lot so that the parents feel safe bringing their kids to school.
Reality: Hygiene theater, giving the parents a FALSE sense of security, while they expose families to COVID transmission, without real measures for main trans.

5/ Here the most prestigious scientific journal, @nature, scolds @WHO and @CDCgov for continuing to confuse people, not explaining VERY clearly that COVID goes through the air, and that surface transmission is unlikely.

6/ And here is the version in Spanish of the Op-Ed on airborne transmission, published by @el_pais at the same time as @TIME published the English version:

To clarify, many people knew much before me, and they were writing papers an op-eds in February 2020.
The first tweet is simply my personal reflection, because it was definitely clear that #COVIDisAirborne by August 2020.
