> They claimed it does not spread through atomized particles, only droplets. This has been demonstrated to be false by experiment.

1. In one experiment in a hospital room detected virus on surfaces but not in the air, but it did so many (I vaguely recall it was 4) hours after the patient was in the room. I think I heard this in answer to a press question during a New Zealand official 1pm broadcast on COVID-19. They didn't categorically claim it can't be atomized, but suggested strongly that this wasn't expected to be a significant vector for transmission.
2. The other source was a paper someone linked to on Twitter. And I neglected to download it. But someone physically atomized material with the virus and then after some time period was able to detect the virus still atomized in the air. This proved it was possible to remain atomized, but not that sick people actually atomize the virus well. Again, perhaps not a significant mode of transmission.
I'll keep looking. I'll temporarily retract that bullet point.
The WHO has been an epic disaster this entire time, wrong several critical times and behind on everything. They should not be regarded as to have much credibility after their failures on this pandemic.
This tweet by the WHO on Jan 14 will go down in history for the 21st century as one of the dumbest things said by anyone prominent in the medical sphere (it's astounding they left it up):
