Very Interesting.

It's something else, isn't it?

Even today, people can't get 6 feet out of their heads.

And I looked to see but nothing for Wired and nothing about the discovery just posts quoting that researcher as the public messaging adjusted. I did have the inkling to double check before I posted.

I can't remember if I found out about it at DU or elsewhere, but it was nearly a year ago I read it for the first time and was stunned.

I remember when the pandemic first began that it seemed pretty clear that it was airborne. It is interesting to read why there was such a resistance to the concept.

It was mid January of 2020, and I had already canceled an airplane trip for early February, as I figured that the world would shut down rapidly. I remember shopping at Costco wearing my N95, looking at the other people wearing masks. Mostly we made up about 1/4 of the shoppers. Already, before anyone was suggesting masking inside, a whole bunch of us had figured it out. And were taking precautions.

I guess that is the difference between people figuring things out and on their own and acting on them for personal safety and the job of the large health organizations.

I do not think I will ever feel safe going inside a public space without a mask. As it sure has become clear to me that they are protective in so many more ways that I imagined.

It seems like a good idea to adapt. Air filtration home & work too.
