There was a product presentation of surface disinfectants during our afternoon meeting today.
It is amazing how disinfection has become a standard of practice while I'm equally bothered that #IndoorVentilation and #masking is not.
I used to think it was all performative and "experts" didn't really concern themselves with this any more than before the pandemic, but then we get stuff like this from the WaPo about what "Covid experts"(I put that in quotes largely because it calls Monica Gandhi an expert) are doing these days:
Helene Gayle, a public health physician and president of Spelman College on her current precautions:
"I still remain careful. I try not to do handshaking and I still try to wash my hands frequently, which are always good health practices."

No wonder our local school district threw away the masks and sanitize all surfaces now.
@BE This all boils down to the “droplet dogma” for Covid some “experts” couldn’t let go off.
But even droplet transmission still requires masking 🤷🏻♀️
