Good on them. It doesn't matter what theoretical guidance the CDC is putting out or whatever the textbooks are saying. If something is observable clinically, either the text books are wrong are there's some other phenomena that's not being accounted for. Either way, take action against what you're observing.

It was crazy. The administration was adamant it wasn’t airborne. Then immediately after said they are converting. My sister was like “this is nuts….. is it airborne or not”.
