I think this will be the big scandal of the pandemic. In spite of an airborne respiratory infection being the oft imagined horror, it was't recognised when it came. That cost hundreds of thousands of lives over at least 18 months. Prof G called it early.
Infectious diseases doctors have - paradoxically - been the slowest to accept the airborne nature of SARS-CoV-2. This is because they were hampered by a false set of beliefs, built and reinforced over *decades*, depicting respiratory infections as spread by droplets. 1/
