OK...read the entire thing.. As I suspected, it's all the same and it uses as a basis for the airborne proposition, the same criticized monket test that has been making the rounds since the outbreak hit the presstitutes. There were numerous issues with the tests, one being the fact that that monkeys throw things. Sometimes fairly long distances. The articles have some interesting data, but neither of the monkey tests proves "airborne" transmission. They do seem to prove casual contact however as the largest distance they used was only 10 feet. Had they used 50 feet, I doubt they would have obtained a result. They also seem to indicate that in their report. But they did prove transmission within ten feet of separation, assuming there was no fan in the room, or any disturbed air from a HVAC unit, or the use of the same gloves, or the pre-contamination of a cage. Or some thrown feces or food pellets.
Assuming all that...they proved that the casual contact distance for monkeys in cages, in a lab, is at least 10 feet.
But that's all they proved..and you have to assume that there was no other inadvertent transmission..
So I sent the article to an acquaintance who is involved with a large professional group tasked with tracking and understanding all aspects this outbreak. They are and have been engaged 24/7 for some time now in their effort to achieve that outcome so as to facilitate official response and action.
Most of us have trust issues with our government as reflected in this thread.
I trust him.
His short answer ... “This is not true.” But then thanked me for sending it to him as it would get movement from the very busy group on this specific misconception.
