| Absolutely. While this article does not come from a well known outlet, all of the evidence presented comes from peer-reviewed studies, universities, and organisations like the International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health: > The frustration lies with the fact that WHO is clinging to a 90-year-old medical dogma. The droplet dogma, articulated by William Wells in 1930 for tuberculosis, holds that contagion is largely limited to the distance covered by droplets that are larger than five to 10 microns in size. > Several types of studies now challenge that view. > A 2003 paper in The New England Journal of Medicine documented a flight in which one SARS case led to 16 possible infections – eight of whom were sitting within three rows of the symptomatic patient. Another study the same year suggested SARS transmission through an air shaft in a housing complex in Hong Kong. https://australiascience.tv/is-covid-19-airborne-dont-know-b... Another scientific article directly on the airbourneness of COVID19: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016041202... As an anecdotal evidence, I'd like to point to the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Infections continued to grow on the lockdowned cruise ship, where meals were individually delivered and people weren't allowed out of their rooms except for brief exercise with no contact. How could so many people have been infected if COVID19 is not airbourne? Air recirculation is a prime suspect. My view is that it is not reasonable to adopt a position that COVID19 is not airborne; and the position taken by the WHO should be discounted (not that we should always take the opposite of WHO; but that should NOT be the end of it given all the failures they have had to date). |
