這篇文章有點長,但某種程度上可能算是整理了WHO和美國CDC在面對COVID可能有透過aerosols傳播可能的轉變,其中包括一群研究人員去翻CDC的歷史文件找出到底界定droplet和aerosol的5 micron從哪而來,再到更多的實證研究支持COVID可以透過airbourne傳播的結果,文末提到WHO和CDC都是在近期才「無聲」(as the authors speak)修改網站上的指引,把COVID可能透過空氣傳播的資訊放進去。 https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwup-that-helped-covid-kill/ 相關的二篇文章(新聞內也有連結) Covid-19 has redefined airborne transmission BMJ 2021; 373 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.n913 (Published 14 April 2021) How Did We Get Here: What Are Droplets and Aerosols and How Far Do They Go?
