If we do, I suspect we will find we agree to a degree.

Probably more agreement than disagreement. I understand and appreciate your comments about direct transmission of droplets. Indeed, there is a wide range of sizes that come into play. Reasonably well-fitted masks SHOULD prevent direct transmission of most of the larger sizes.

I guess, it gets trickier when you start trying to split hairs between the really smaller sizes. What's the actual diameter that differentiates between a "droplet" and an "aerosol"? The smaller the particle, the lower the virus loading, making is harder to transmit. From what I've seen, time and proximity are key factors in spread.

I also have a hard time believing the physical spread on surfaces is the primary method of transmission. The virus might be capable of surviving. But, again.. the amount of virus picked up seems too low to me.

I guess, we'll all know, someday. When the gazillions of research dollars are spent on transmission studies.

Here's what I DO KNOW: Government mask mandates make NO DIFFERENCE at all.

LOL, see...I KNEW there was something fundamental we were in agreement on!

Thanks...:)
