Everyone in the field is very familiar with that research and no, it didn't conclusively demonstrate airborne transmission no matter how many blogs say it did. BTW, your nih reference does not claim proof of airborne transmission. Quite the opposite:

The most likely route of infection of the control monkeys was aerosol, oral or conjunctival exposure to virus-laden droplets secreted or excreted from the experimentally inoculated monkeys.

This is not airborne transmission. The virus' ability to infect was dependent on being surrounded by oral and respiratory fluid. This is "direct contact with secretions", not airborne transmission.

It is widely accepted that sloppy procedures within the compound could have spread these secretions in the study you cite.

steve

the woman who is now coming back to the US never came anywhere near a patient she just prayed down their decon suits.

The CDC is now warning airlines against pressure washing or using compressed air in cleaning the planes.

You are accusing the professionals who have worked in full containment biohazard suits for their whole professional lives with being sloppy.

the US docs and Doctors without Borders pros said they took every precaution but they still got it.

but if it makes you feeeeeel, better you can spin it anyway you want.

BTW whenever you are anyone is dealing with anything that you don’t have any personal first hand knowledge about - you are bound to err on the side of prudence i.e. you assume it is airborne until you find out otherwise - or you will assume room temperature sooner than you expect
