People who say "nuanced" these days are usually just lying to you.

1. We could have been warning people, as _regular people_ could see, at the outset

2. SEPARATELY, we could have been warning them based on the precautionary principle.

3. THIRD, these people are flat out right now lying for PR reasons.

If they really felt that this was in the air they would have said so long ago.

The reality is the WHO was logjammed at committee and couldn't control it. An absolute shambles.

Others did not know at the outset, and derive personal benefit from the WHO so would not deviate.

Not much to be done, just pointing it out.

Too much hubris, talking down, and shutting people out of the conversation (air experts). Now of course the talk is all co-operative. Interesting change

Anyway, better lose the attitude. This won't be the last time we go through this

Anyway, keep getting the word out. There's plenty more days of this ahead, and you don't want to catch this. You want the vaccine.

The virus moves like smoke: Avoid closed spaces.

Ventilate. Masks. Distance.

Why does this airborne terminology matter?

Guidance flows down. These people didn't have the masks they needed when they needed them (in 2d wave).

Why not? In huge part because "not airborne" means you only get a surgical mask.

Those don't do anything for floating aerosols.
