well would you look at that. norovirus is *also* airborne: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0360132326005433"Results showed that vomiting generated substantial aerosols instantaneously, and subsequent cleaning disturbed settled particles, increasing airborne pathogen concentrations by 54% compared with pre-cleaning levels"are we ready to start filtering the air yet?

not accepting "no" on this by the way. your only options are "yes" and "ask me again later"

@eniko There's money in saying yes. Mrs Wife and I haven't eaten or drunk indoors in public spaces since early 2020. We used to go out on date night every week. We can't be the only #Covid-conscious couple in town. The first pub to convince me that it was reasonably safe to unmask and eat indoors would get our custom.But it's the same problem as low-radiation monitors in the 1990s: it's a tough sell, because it's a tacit admission that older monitors are dangerous and that even the newer ones might carry some risk. Same story here: "Eat at our pub and you have only a 1 in N chance of getting disabled by #LongCovid (or giving all your friends #norovirus), rather than 2 in N like the place over the road." It's cheaper and happier just to pretend the risk doesn't exist and we can hand-wash our way to safety. Fomites FTW!

by the way, when my mom and brother were in town to visit my mom came down with something. probably a cold. definitely not covid because we tested them with pluslife every time they came overwe had an air filter in the living room and didn't share food/drink/kitchenwarewe didn't catch it. because air filters work
