Default Airborne or not

For those of you interested in a scientific explanation of whether or not the virus is airborne, this was a good explanation, https://www.wired.com/story/they-say...-borne-by-air/.

I hope all the fears and concerns are unfounded. My best guess is that ultimately those who feel all the precautions were necessary will end up saying “see, I told you so. These actions minimized the outbreak”. Those who think they are unnecessary will say, “see, I told you so. The outbreak was not the end of the world and the majority escaped unscathed.”

I’m not concerned for myself or my kids. I am concerned for my parents who are high risk. Because of my concern for them, I am taking steps to minimize my exposure so I don’t pass along the virus to them. And, I am discouraging them from being in public places where they might be exposed. Am I being too careful? Maybe, but for their sake I would rather be safe than sorry.
