Smoke on the Wind: the Aerosol Spread of Covid-19.

We should have been assuming this long ago as part of the precautionary principle and based on knowledge of how many other viruses spread. It’s beyond bananas to follow the scientific convention of waiting until all the evidence is gathered in cases like this.

By then, it’s Too. Fucking. Late.

That expert-led methodology really secrewed us over this time, as it will for anything similar — and I include climate change in that. We should’ve been acting like SARS-Cov-2 was aerosol-spread from the jump, but we’ve fetishized the cult of certitude and science so much we can’t act in sensible ways until “all the evidence is in.”

Again, then it’s Too. Goddamn. Late.
