Why are you grinding your teeth? I can hear it from Canada.
@drkristenkc This is pretty solid science right here, right?

Oh no due to popular demand I will drop the following
Oh heck, here you go. They chose to publish this. Not my problem they did a stupid. Why I bothered to try to keep names out of this nonsense is beyond me.
So, Q-tip doesn't work, and of course result of paper is conclusion: fomites.
Great work.
THROW YOUR Q-TIP UP INTO THE AIR
AND WAVE IT LIKE YOU JUST DON'T CARE (about accurate virological results, at all, or your scientific integrity really, or what people think of any of your results from this point forward)
... this article brought to you by the same Center for Diisease Control that brought you "Ebola is not in the air and that 90 person outbreak at the funeral parlor was because African burial rites, and everybody was touching the body and hugging"
Sure.
Go back to waving q-tips
I wish this clarified whether the defibrillator machine was on or off at the time.
Because of the Q-tip thing, I feel I need this clarification.

@ExtroSpecteur I presume he is saying airborne mitigations should be equally alongside touch or droplet.
No, there is no evidence for any. As I keep saying, but happy to say again, for thousands of years people flipflopped between "it's touch" and "it floats but generates in swamps because ...
@ExtroSpecteur ... they did not understand pathogens. Once they did, referring to respiratory illness, they simply assumed it was droplet because most infections can be traced to an infected having been near the index case. Droplet became an idea with Chapin in 1910, to explain why one needed..
@ExtroSpecteur ...to be close. However, first, their idea of droplet was not necessarily 2 metres. Their idea of airborne was many kilometers, so their discussion of close has to be understood in this context. Two, their investigations were crude, by the 30s air people like Wells
It's always funny to me that virologists get everything and transmission so wrong. I guess because they work with viruses they think they know everything about them. 🤷
The sad part is we would assume that because they work with viruses they know everything about them.
*everything about
Virologists don't really work on transmission. Maybe sometimes they spin a tub and flip some in the air or something. But they don't really know what's going on. And then the doctors know the biological clinical side of things but they don't work on transmission either.
Just remember the ladder of denial and elite panic myth means if you are hearing a 2 it's a 4. If a 4 it's a 6. If a 6 pack your bags. You'll never hear 8 and up the TV will just play static
