Airborne Transmission of Virus Should be Focus

The MIT Technology Review featured analysis from Lisa Brosseau, PhD, a retired professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at the UIC School of Public Health.  Brosseau emphasized evidence is confirming COVID-19 is primarily spread through airborne transmission, noting that disinfection efforts may be less important and the science of mask usage must be rigorous.

I think the amount of time and effort devoted to sanitizing every single surface over and over and over again has been a huge waste of time. We don’t need to worry so much about cleaning every single surface we touch.
