The first lies about transmission.@WHO claimed that transmission of coronaviruses “occurred through droplets, contact and fomites.They deliberately do NOT mention aerosols, despite MANY studies showing evidence for airborne transmission of SARS & MERS. https://t.co/FsTwHqIBbW

Readers: Water Cooler is a standalone entity not covered by the annual NC fundraiser. So if you see a link you especially like, or an item you wouldn’t see anywhere else, please do not hesitate to express your appreciation in tangible form. Remember, a tip jar is for tipping! Regular positive feedback both makes me feel good and lets me know I’m on the right track with coverage. When I get no donations for five or ten days I get worried. More tangibly, a constant trickle of donations helps me with expenses, and I factor in that trickle when setting fundraising goals:
