Interesting light reading on the lancet article.
Thanks for posting.
You got me into a wormhole, where I googled the lancet:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lancet
and the wikipedia article specifically mentioned concerns regarding the study as not incorporating exposure time into the equation. A British study link was included:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/887618/EMG_Environmental_transmission-_02052020__1_.pdf
And appears to support the trend in data, but also taking into account (at least somewhat) the effects of time of exposure. No big new revelations, but the trend continues. The mentioned UK article seems more of an adjunct than a rebuttal to the lancet article and has plenty of aerosol talk for the aerosol junkies.
What I find interesting, is that in early April, I was watching this video from Dr. David Price (Someone on ppot shared it), and the data seems to essentially be supporting what Dr. Price said "way back then"

His information seemed to be on the right general track. Since April, I have followed this advice religiously, and done well (so far) treating hundreds of patients/ and going out in public the entire time. For me, the video just clicked. From the looks of him on the video, I was concerned he would be overworked, and get inundated in a high exposure environment, and Covid would get him. I've done some google searches and so far it looks like he is doing okay- which is good
Perhaps he has gotten it, but I haven't seen anything. I like that he incorporates time/distance into the equation and uses it to stratify his mask choices, as well as predominantly addressing hand hygiene, which has gotten thrown a little to the sidelines, but is addressed somewhat in the UK article.
