LjLlol. imagine the people insisting it was "just droplets" for so long. i'd feel dumb if i were them, but maybe they manage some mental gymnastics to convince themselves they never claimed that00:06
ublx"even in a hospital setting" it says00:52
ublxwhat's with the 'even'00:52
LjLublx, i suppose they may find it unusual that people in a hospital setting would generally survive as long as 4 hours to be infected02:19
ublxi just mean, years after the pandemic onset, the apogee authorities maintained droplets droplets droplets wash your hands and all will be well etc02:28
ublxdidn't hear much about hospitals throwing UVC emitters in every ventilation duct, maybe that's a thing tho idk02:28
ublxdon't hear much about modern hospitals having windows that routinely open02:29
ublxand hospitals are where all the sick people are at02:29
ublxso what's with the 'even'02:29
ublxmaybe there's little difference between a crowded supermarket at rush hour and a hospital, in that practically speaking 100% of the population has been exposed02:35
ublxexcept that in hospital there's a vastly higher probability that every second person you see has an immune system compromised (by however small a degree) by the burden of an ongoing illness or injury02:35
LjLublx, i was sarcastic, of course i find the "even" silly. i don't know if in the case of COVID a supermarket would be equivalent to a hospital, but in many other cases, hospitals have been found to harbor more and tougher diseases than elsewhere03:01
