Meanwhile, after much debate and argument within the scientific community, a physicist has finally gotten the CDC to understand that Covid-19 is aerosolized. It took deep research into where the CDC's initial numbers came from and finding that there was a massive misunderstanding that was based on the numbers for TB. What does that mean for us now? Not a whole lot. What it does mean is that we under-reacted to the initial spread of the virus, which is why it spread so quickly. Six feet was not a safe distance and Covid particles could travel well over 100 feet. Too late did we learn otherwise.
