COVID-19 Aerosol Transmission - evidence!
(Graphic a modification of one by Tang et al 2021, via Jimenez et al 2021)
This site exists as a resource to outline that there has been scientific evidence for some time to first predict then support COVID-19 infection being driven by airborne/aerosol transmission. Judicial inquires have now started and hopefully the cover-up on how it spreads is surfaced. This site, its-airborne.org, has collected evidence and organized into timelines and lists that could help judicial inquiries.
Feb 2020: CDC knows it is airborne
The CDC was briefing from Jan 6th, 2020 that Covid-19 was airborne, surfaced in a July 2023 freedom of information act request. Just three excerpts of many:
- “For patients admitted for inpatient care, implement contact and airborne isolation precautions”
- “Personnel entering the room to evaluate the patient should use contact precautions and wear an N95 disposable facepiece respirator”
- “Strict attention to standard, contact and airborne precautions are recommended for SARS and MERS CoV-infected patients within hospital settings”
- “Health experts locally [Wuhan] are recommending that citizens pay attention to maintaining indoor air circulation, avoid closed and airless public places and crowded places, and wear masks when necessary.”

its-airborne.org is just one site. There are others that agree with covid is primarily airborne that focus on different topics. See our list:
