The WHO issued new scientific findings on Thursday recommending people avoid large crowds and ensure good ventilation in buildings.

The WHO had already stated that airborne transmission in aerosols was possible during specialized medical procedures, but if airborne transmission in smaller particles were confirmed, the finding could mean a need to address ventilation systems in places like schools or nursing homes.that the evidence of the virus going airborne was"not supported by solid or even clear evidence."

"WHO's updated scientific brief of transmission of COVID-19 is a step in the right direction because they now acknowledge that airborne transmission may be occurring outside of specialized medical procedures," Dr. Linsey Marr, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech, said in a statement.Under the new recommendations to slow the spread of the virus, the WHO is recommending avoiding large crowds and ensuring good ventilation in buildings.

"I would like to see WHO make a stronger recommendation for use of face coverings at all times indoors, except in one's own residence or when in a room by oneself, because there is increasing evidence that face coverings are very effective at slowing transmission, and they are a relatively inexpensive intervention," she said.

Marr argued it'd be better to acknowledge that path of transmission, rather than size, for the definition.

The amount of people that don’t know the difference between airborne versus droplet🤦🏻‍♀️

The WHO needs to get its shit together

The executive decision makers at WHO need to seriously get their act into gear. They seem to be always behind the eight ball with the current and past viruses.

The people saying this is 'water is wet' news are wrong. It was never considered airborne, but transmitted through physical contact, like touching door handles, or spit - which is why we wear the masks.

This is new? I thought we knew this already.

The WHO are full of crap!

Didn’t we know this already?

Your months and months late. Old news

Not to be a Bob Bummer, but I'm ready to die. Bring on the apocalypse.

We might as good be dead soon.

I mean isnt that why we've been wearing masks for months

I'm still the best 9 year old rapper

Even if you guys see this alot

dont believe me? check me out

The WHO can be bought. Whoever pays the most wins their support.

Good thing we don’t belong to that organization anymore. Lol.

Whatever!

I hope the researchers working on a vaccine, are a little further ahead

The WHO doesn’t know shit about fuck

Thus the masks? 🤔

Duh, pretty sure China, Japan, SK all reported this in like late Feb early March. So this shouldn’t be a shock. And if you didn’t figure it out watching those poor souls on the DiamondPrincess getting sick 17 and 18 days after QT started, well then... I dk what to tell you.

If it wasn't airborne, what is the point of wearing a mask

OOH, REALLY?

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

who is not credible

As opposed to mail order?

🙄

for a moment I thought it was the band

We didn’t already know this?

Lol they kinda late on confirming that

What’s it been before? Telepathy?
