One of the doctors in China, who had not been to Wuhan, caught it from a doctor who HAD been to Wuhan (this was back in January, btw), merely by sitting at the same table as him at a conference.
Nice try, though.
“You’re just utterly, irretrievably wrong...One of the doctors in China, who had not been to Wuhan, caught it from a doctor who HAD been to Wuhan (this was back in January, btw), merely by sitting at the same table as him at a conference.”
I think you’re wasting your time with these types. I suspect part of it is denial, they simply cannot grasp the thought that something so dangerous could be transmitted so easily. But why the hell not? Anyway, denial is understandable as people start to grasp the implications of aerosol transmission.
In my case I sent an email to my boss last week and told them I’m going to work remotely at home until it’s over - implying if they don’t like the idea, they’re welcome to do as they wish. Obviously I can take whatever outcome comes of it (no response yet)...but just as obviously, most others cannot. Hence the need for denial.
