      The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill
      from Wired
      All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with huge consequences.

      I guess this is more of a physics thing at some level than a biology thing, but if there's one lesson I have taken from my cycling and running training, it's that human bodies are not robots. There aren't exact numbers for anything.

      It's bizarre to me that the CDC and WHO were stuck on some 5 micron limit.
