Wells attributes the crucial distinction between droplet nuclei (airborne inhalable dried residua of larger respiratory droplets) and germ-laden dust (non-inhalable larger respiratory droplets) to Richard L. Riley, a medical student working with him at Harvard at the time."

Those of you who have been to my house know that there is plenty of room to spread around. I can provide mics and amplifiers for a few people and guitar accompaniment; it might be fun to do rounds and a cappella too if we can hear one another.
