Hopefully as more researchers are recognized for their excellent work on aerosol transmission, the findings will be used to inform how we protect each other from pathogens.
Also, my first reaction to this was "A BASSOON!!!"

Aerosol transmission of SARSCoV2 virus is the dominant route for transmitting COVID-19.

💨 The NHS still urgently needs to improve infection prevention and control, and acknowledge the risks of airborne pathogens like #SARSCoV2 by putting in place effective controls and actions to minimise transmission.
Lack of scientific awareness regarding airborne pathogens is a troubling weakness.

Short answer: Healthcare professionals are human too, and institutions vary in their policies. That doesn’t change the science behind airborne transmission or the benefit of masking.
