[From a chat. Someone asked what the origin for most infection comes from close contact]
From the epi reports where you ask the person what they did for a week, etc, and then find that they were close to a positive at some point, so the conclusion is "aha, close contact"
Every question, etc, asked, is from the point of view that nothing except certain specific viruses (measles, etc.) are airborne.
Because remember, to them, if air, R0 would = a billion.
Right now when people tell you there is no airborne spread remember THEY ARE NOT LOOKING FOR AIRBORNE SPREAD BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN IT.

This is why elevator buttons get blamed instead of aerial transmission - they don't believe in aerial transmission.

This is a very important paper.

Transmission over more than 2m with only 5 min exposure - captured by CCTV.
Contact tracers don't even look for these connections.

I've posted about articles saying 2 row not good enough

We will focus on the last para about contact tracing in planes and the two row rule. pic.twitter.com/TKiPdu8KlJ

Its main thrus is not that studies are biased by exposure risks before getting on the plane.
It looked at a number of contact tracing studies. It concluded evidence not strong enough to justify 2 row rule.
** A majority of secondary cases was identified > 2 rows from index pic.twitter.com/ZFhzbGrGbt
Hertzberg 2016. Says two 2 rows misses cases. See conclusion at bottom.
This is just whatever snippet I quickly found.
Just whatever snippet I quickly found.
I haven't even researched this issue. These are just the studies I had lying around.
I can't turn around without bumping into info that refutes droplets. It's insane.
They suggested that rule (on the basis of ONE person, by the way), BEFORE considering air spread.
That's also insane.

But guess what?

When we use the 2 row forward/back rule (droplet) in airplanes, it doesn't work.
When we use droplet 2m rule (which comes from 14 babies in 1981), it doesn't work.
SARS-CoV-2 infects whole rooms, which we are told means airborne, not droplet
Yet still droplet
