New research out this week discusses the 'how airborne is Covid-19' question. An experiment was done in NYC looking at how many healthcare workers ended up infected with CV, and compared to how many would have been infected had it been TB or other highly infections airborne virus's. Obviously I am not a scientist nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so I might be missing any fallacy's in the methodology, but seems like encouraging news.

SARS-CoV-2 infection prevalence among tracked HCWs was 2.21% (0.07-4.35). Transmissibility was estimated to be 0.225 quanta per hour, well below other well-characterized airborne pathogens.

The real question though will be if this is reported in the MSM.
