[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 6493287, member: 15685"] The headline is sensational, but the article content is important regarding the experimental results and their interpretation and extension to related phenomenon, or in this case aerial transmission of viruses and other communicable diseases. [URL='https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwup-that-helped-covid-kill/?utm_source=pocket-newtab']https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwup-that-helped-covid-kill/[/URL] Besides Linsey Marr, the other hero in this effort is graduate student Katie Randall, who found an out-of-print book written by a Harvard engineer named William Firth Wells. Published in 1955, it was called [I]Airborne Contagion and Air Hygiene[/I]. Thresholds for phenomena in science and engineering can be problematic, or even dangerous, if misunderstood or misapplied. The story in the Wired article is similar to patterns I've seen in certain aspects of science and engineering. [/QUOTE]
