Suggest downward droplet transmission is not the only transmission mechanism and aerosol transmission is possible https://nypost.com/2020/07/28/people-over-6-feet-tall-are-more-likely-to-contract-coronavirus/

Maybe they should start days with masks and days without The minute you see too many without mask, distancing is gone to the hell as well. Just my personal experience lately.

Unless the aerosol particles are like hot air balloons and have a gas burner on board as well so they only float upwards.

When you breath out the air is hotter than the ambient air so it floats up and around via an invisible force! I know right mental! It's convection. That's why we have rads. Totally Rad. Science is cool (get it)

If they can show ceilings covered in the virus and the floors clear of it then they might have something. I don't tend to normally have a short person sat under my work desk breathing up at me and there was a previous study I'd seen in relation to a group of cases in South Korea which showed the seating plan in a restaurant and the flow from the air conditioning system. They may be right about people being over 6ft having a higher incidence of infection, and also about the aerosols. But I really can't see how the two things are related. It just a coincidence.

As far as I'm aware, the virus doesn't read letters and won't bypass me by because of an eligibility for exemption from wearing masks.

High time that face visors were made mandatory along with masks especially with a Christmas shopping just around the corner. Btw people you should don your masks BEFORE you arrive at a stores entrance.
