The amusing thing is you had contagion and airborne long distance (miasma).
And then when they discovered germs and realize germs lived inside us they could put the two together and you had close contact. Because outside body, germs die over time.
Chapin say this, but he got too heady on droplets.
That meant 5oo much close. Statistics of decay means less long but there is long.
Never should have been 2m rule as rule.
And so, fomites is dead. Contagion dead. Miasma dead. Close contact as a rule dead.
Anyway I asked Google whether it knew viruses were aerosol spread and was keeping that from us, and it said "of course not because it's so obvious, human."
I was fed up with not having these in one place. so I set aside 30 minutes and, voila. I present this to you.

This is not all of the reviews, just the top ones. I likely missed some.
