I wish everyone would assume this virus is transmitted as an aerosol. Governments worldwide try to say it is not, infection data says it is. Of course they dont want anyone to think just breathing can infect us.
Measles did. Smallpox.
If we assume the worst, and act accordingly, infections will decrease. Ignore the risks, and the opposite occurs. Cause and effect....

we need to assume the worst...for whatever reason the Chinese went nuts....
here we look in the textbooks about other coronavirus and apply them to this one.....then in the next sentence say that theres a lot we don’t know about this virus
Regular flu travels through the air too. Why wouldn’t this? I think they say this to avoid panic and hoarding of masks. Not that there are any masks to buy and hoard now anyway.
Or maybe that is the point - there are no masks, so they have to say “Well - the don’t do any good anyway.”
There isn’t enough masks to protect anyone from aerosol transmission, and no one wants to shut down the western economy.
So we play let’s pretend for a while and hope for the best.
