"Over the past few months, an increasing number of scientists,
clinicians, and engineers have called for greater recognition that
aerosols, in addition to larger droplets can transmit the novel
coronavirus that causes COVID-19. While the difference is literally
miniscule, acknowledging this route of transmission would result in
significant changes in how the public can bring an end to the global
pandemic. In the near term, it would inform social distancing and mask
wearing recommendations from local governments, and in the long term,
engineers and architects will need to rethink ventilation and air
filtration in the design of everything from schools to cruise ships."
