Norovirus in air?

Norovirus in air.
"highly contagious" = doesn't need a lot of copies to infect someone.
virus RNA detected in air (keeping in mind sampling usualy loses a lot of virus)
Hundreds of copies of virus were recovered in each mL of air near the patient head.
Hundreds of copies per mL in saliva.

As I said. Airborne.
Official lettering font. Video is legit.
For anyone who doesn't know, this is from a hilarious set of commercials that played in the 90s, all with the same format of someone who provides very technical knowledge who turns out to know nothing, but who "stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night"

Did they check the break room wasn't also an elevator, and that everybody pushed the same button?
Fruit tray?
Were they conducting ritual burial rites in the break room?

I hear ID doctors often like that one as well.

"endorsement of expert report" is not a legal term.

What would it mean? I am a non-expert but I wholeheartedly agree with the expert. ?

This pandemic is such failemic.

Opinion evidence is only admissible if you are qualified as an expert.

This sheet of paper is no different from a blank sheet of paper.

What silliness.
Inadmissible really and meaningless even if admitted.

I guarantee you the judges did not care.

One of these weird submissions even spelled medical wrong. Ha.

I guess this is the pandemic that causes us to realize that government public health, and infection control field (IPAC) are fundamentally useless.

Can't get masks for respiratory virus 19 months in.
