Good essay about the resistance to thinking that COVID might be airborne. I'm not 100% convinced, but the case is a good one. Basically argues that the medical profession underwent a ThomasKuhnian ParadigmShift in the 19th century, rejecting "bad air" as the cause of disease and focusing on the transfer by contact of germs, that they are reluctant to return to airborne disease theories. Even though recognising the role of aerosols in disease transmission would be a revolution in medicine.
