Receptions outdoors? Can one fall in love with a conference? Pitter patter.
No one but us transmission prevention specialists know that transmission can still happen outdoors. But. Super-spreading is bloody well much less likely to happen.
So kudos.
Testing with 24 hours of conference start?
Rapid testing? Every day?!

Would have loved to see #corsirosenthalboxes or HEPAs involved. Headband N95s instead of KN95s (60-70% fake on Amazon), as those earloops slowly ease forward.

But worn here in their lab. By them.
Aerosols, 3-5 microns, were nebulized into the cows nostrils.
Correction to the study...SOME of those that size will deposit into the Lower Respiratory Tract. Not all. Some will deposit into the Upper Respiratory Tract.
