239 scientists worldwide claim coronavirus is airborne COVID19

The coronavirus is finding new victims worldwide, in bars and restaurants, offices, markets and casinos, giving rise to frightening clusters of infection that increasingly confirm what many scientists have been saying for months: The virus lingers in the air indoors, infecting those nearby.

But in an open letter to the WHO, 239 scientists in 32 countries have outlined the evidence showing that smaller particles can infect people and are calling for the agency to revise its recommendations. The researchers plan to publish their letter in a scientific journal. “Especially in the last couple of months, we have been stating several times that we consider airborne transmission as possible but certainly not supported by solid or even clear evidence,” she said. “There is a strong debate on this.”

But the infection prevention and control committee in particular, experts said, is bound by a rigid and overly medicalized view of scientific evidence, is slow and risk-averse in updating its guidance and allows a few conservative voices to shout down dissent. In early April, a group of 36 experts on air quality and aerosols urged the WHO to consider the growing evidence on airborne transmission of the coronavirus. The agency responded promptly, calling Lidia Morawska, the group’s leader and a longtime WHO consultant, to arrange a meeting.

Scientists have not been able to grow the coronavirus from aerosols in the lab. But that doesn’t mean aerosols are not infective, Marr said: Most of the samples in those experiments have come from hospital rooms with good air flow that would dilute viral levels. “We have this notion that airborne transmission means droplets hanging in the air capable of infecting you many hours later, drifting down streets, through letter boxes and finding their way into homes everywhere,” Hanage said.

Yikes!

it was 'i'(w/ pa-humble effect) a pinoy who commended that covid-19 is airborne last february 2020.

Pag xure mo uy. Droplet or airborn, its better to be prepared. We will never know until we ourselves get contaminated.

Eh nasaan na yung nagsasabi na droplets lang, baka naman pwede mag paliwanag, bilyon tao naniwala sa inyo..

Let's just assume it's airborne, droplets, human contact and other ways to get infected. How about focusing on an actual cure and formula to remove it on those ways of infections.

Susmiyo! Mag isang taon na tayo sa covid na to di pa din sure kung airborne o droplets to? 🙄
